Singapore badminton player Jason Teh's hunt for his first international title continues as a lacklustre performance saw him lose 21-6, 21-7 to India's Lakshya Sen at the Syed Modi India International on Dec 1.
Playing in his fifth final of 2024, Teh found no luck in Lucknow, as world No. 14 Sen clinched the title in his first final of the year.
At the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium, Sen took just 31 minutes to demolish his 39th-ranked opponent, who also lost in the finals of the Malaysia Super 100 and Macau, Polish and Luxembourg Opens this season.
After bagging US$7,980 (S$10,690) for finishing second in the Badminton World Federation Super 300 event, Teh said: "The colour of the medal doesn't matter the most to me, what is important is the quality of my play on court in all my matches.
"I'm disappointed with my own performance today. I wasn't able to perform to the best of my ability and unlike yesterday, I just can't seem to find my rhythm.
