Indian badminton star Lakshya Sen clinched the Australian Open 2025 men's singles title after defeating Japan's unseeded whirlwind Yushi Tanaka 21-15, 21-11 in a 38-minute final in Sydney on Sunday.

The victory marks Sen's first title of the year and his first BWF World Tour trophy since the Syed Modi International in late 2024. It is also his first Super 500 triumph since the Canada Open in 2023 - a timely breakthrough after months of steady rebuilding.

Notably, Sen has shown flashes of top form throughout the season, finishing runner-up at the Hong Kong Open and making the semifinals at both the Macau Open and the recently concluded Japan Masters. In Sydney, he stitched together one of his most convincing tournament runs in recent memory.
