Star shuttler Lakshya Sen missed his date with history after stumbling to a three-game loss against Indonesia\'s Jonatan Christie in the semifinals of the All England Championships in Birmingham on Saturday, prolonging India\'s long wait for the coveted trophy. In a game of fine margins, the 22-year-old, who had finished runner-up in the 2022 edition, was marginally short as he slipped to a 21-12, 10-21, 15-21 defeat to world No. 9 Christie, the 2018 Asian Games gold medallist, after a 68-minute smash-fest. \"I am pretty disappointed with the result but, overall, the way I played, surely, I have the level to be there and win the big tournaments,\" Sen said after the match. \"I have been through some tough patches before this, but there has been lot of support for me in social media but I couldn\'t do my best today.
