Lakshya Sen, the defending champion, looks to end his title drought as he begins his campaign at the Canada Open badminton tournament on Tuesday. Fond memories of past victories fuel his determination.

World No. 14 Sen, the sole Indian contender in the BWF World Tour Super 500 meet, also eyes the Paris Olympics. His form has dipped since his Canada Open triumph last year, making this tournament crucial in rediscovering his winning rhythm.

Sen is seeded No. 4 and finds himself in the bottom half of the draw with Japanese stars Kodai Naraoka (WR 6) and Koki Watanabe (WR 20). He begins against a qualifier, potentially facing Hong Kong's WR 23 NG Ka Long Angus in the quarterfinals. Three other Indians feature in the men's singles main draw.
