Satwik-Chirag bow out of Indonesia Open
Jakarta: India's top men's doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty bowed out of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 tournament after losing to Malaysia's Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun in the quarterfinals here on Friday. The former world No. 1 Indian duo, who won the title in 2023, went down 19-21, 16-21 in a 43-minute contest against the flat-hitting Malaysian pair, who notched up their first win over the Indians in five meetings. Satwik-Chirag's loss ended the Indian challenge in the competition. The Indians looked rusty as they struggled with their serve and return against Man and Wee, who won the Malaysia Masters last month and Indonesia Masters in January. The Indians also lacked the discipline in defence and anticipation and were often put in uncomfortable positions and rushed errors throughout the match by the Malaysians.

The previously world No. 1 Indian combination, who were the champions in 2023, succumbed to a 19-21, 16-21 loss in a 43-minute encounter against the aggressive Malaysian duo, who secured their first victory over the Indians in their fifth meeting. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The exit of Satwik-Chirag marked the end of India's participation in the tournament. The Indian pair appeared to be struggling with their service and returns, as they were outplayed by the Malaysian duo, who had claimed victories at both the Malaysia Masters last month and Indonesia Masters in January. The Indians displayed poor defensive organisation and anticipation, frequently finding themselves in difficult positions as the Malaysians forced them into errors throughout the match. Satwik committed net errors, allowing the Malaysians to take an early lead, which they maintained until the mid-game interval. Despite equalising at 11-all through aggressive exchanges, the Indians failed to capitalise on their opportunities, allowing the Malaysians to establish a lead. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Learn More Undo Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy The second game saw the Indians start poorly, trailing 3-7, as the Malaysians effectively used flat shots and court conditions to extend their lead.

Indonesia Open: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty Lead India's Charge
Last Updated: Men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lead India's challenge at the Indonesia Open, aiming to reclaim their title Former champions Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty aim to maintain their comeback momentum as they lead India's challenge at the USD 1,450,000 Indonesia Open Super 1000 badminton tournament, starting Tuesday. The former world No. 1 pair returned to action after regaining fitness with a commendable semi-final finish at the Singapore Open last week. They now hope to go the distance and reclaim the trophy they won in 2023. Currently ranked 27th, Satwik and Chirag are expected to edge closer to the top 20 following their performance in Singapore. They will begin their campaign against the Indonesian duo of Leo Rolly Carnando and Bagas Maulana at the Istora Senayan arena, the spiritual home of badminton. The conditions at Istora favour the Indians, and a win could set up a potential clash with their nemesis, Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, who ended their run last week and have a dominant record against the Indian pair. The duo had missed several weeks of action due to Satwik's health issues and Chirag's lingering back injury. However, the star pair displayed their trademark brilliance last week, outclassing the world No. 1 Malaysian duo of Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin with a tactical masterclass on their way to the semi-finals. Two-time Olympic medallist P V Sindhu also aims for a deep run following a series of underwhelming performances this year. The 29-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during training in Guwahati in February, ruling her out of the Asia Team Championships. Since her return, she has lost matches to players such as Thuy Linh Nguyen, Putri Kusuma Wardani, and Kim Ga Eun, leading to early exits from tournaments. Last week, the 2022 Commonwealth Games champion showed glimpses of her former self before narrowly losing to Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yu Fei of China in the second round. With new Indonesian coach Irwansyah Adi Pratama in her corner, Sindhu will hope to rediscover her rhythm when she faces a familiar foe in former world champion Nozomi Okuhara of Japan. The duo has shared several nail-biting encounters over the years, with a close head-to-head record reflecting their fierce rivalry. Tuesday's match promises to be another gripping contest as both players attempt to reclaim their stature in world badminton. A win could pit Sindhu, the 2019 World Champion, against Thailand's Pornpawee Chochuwong in the second round. In other women's singles matches, Anupama Upadhyaya will face Korea's Kim Ga Eun, Rakshitha Sree Ramraj will play Thailand's left-hander Supanida Katethong, and Malvika Bansod will meet Indonesia's Putri Kusuma Wardani. In the men's singles, H S Prannoy, a 2023 World Championships bronze medallist, will look to regain form against Indonesia's Alwi Farhan. Lakshya Sen, the 2021 World Championships bronze medallist, is recovering from a back injury that forced him to withdraw from the Malaysia tournament last week. The shuttler from Almora has struggled to hit peak form since his semi-final finish at the Paris Olympics and faces a tough opener against world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi of China. His PPBA academy-mate Kiran George will test himself against the elite as he begins his campaign against former world champion Loh Kean Yew. In the women's doubles, Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand – who is also making a slow return from injury – will face Japan's Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto. India will also be represented by four pairs in mixed doubles: Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto, Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Gadde Shivani, Sathish Karunakaran and Aadya Variyath, and Ashith Surya and Amrutha Pramuthesh.
