The wait for the elusive title continues for
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and
Chirag Shetty. Their last title for the former world No.1 pair came at the same venue in 2024, but they failed to repeat the magic.
The top Indian doubles pair saved four championship points before losing to Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin of Indonesia 12-21, 23-25 in the Thailand Open BWF Super-500 tournament in Bangkok.
Despite not winning the title, the Indian duo has been quite consistent on the tour, reaching several finals, clinching a bronze at the World Championships and the recently concluded Thomas Cup. In their third final this year, SatwikChirag looked sharp in the second game before losing their first match against the Indonesian pair in five meetings.
Satwik said he was happy with their performance despite the loss. “Except for today, I am happy with the way we played this week. It is more mental than physical now,” he said.
Shriyanshi loses in finalA week after winning the Mexican International title, 19-year-old Shriyanshi Valishetty lost to An Qi Yuan of China 14-21, 6-21 in the final of the China Masters Super-100.
