Alwi Farhan Falls to Lakshya Sen in Kumamoto Masters Semifinal
Alwi said a bleeding hand and calls by the line judge and service judge also disrupted his rhythm.
Alwi Farhan was stopped in the semifinals of the 2026 Kumamoto Masters after losing to India's Lakshya Sen in three games, 12-21, 21-15, 11-21, on Saturday. The sixth-seeded Indonesian men's singles player recovered in the second game but lost control again in the decider, with Sen leading 11-6 at the interval before sealing it 21-11. After the BWF Super 500 match, Alwi said several factors beyond his control affected his play, including a bleeding hand and decisions by the line judge and service judge. Although he missed out on the final, Alwi said his performance in Kumamoto provided lessons for evaluation ahead of the next tournament.
