Satwik-Chirag once again scripts history, wins India's first Swiss Open Super 300 doubles title

The Satwik-Chirag duo never fails to impress! In yet another such instance, Indian ace men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty had an amazing campaign as they defeated China's Ren Xiang Yu and Tan Qiang in the final of the Swiss Open Super 300 badminton tournament in Basel on Sunday. They won their first men’s doubles title of the year at the Swiss Open Super 300 in Basel on Sunday.

 

 

The second seeded, Satwik-Chirag, defeated China’s Ren Xiang Yu and Tan Qiang in straight games (21-19, 24-22) in 54 minutes to clinch the BWF World Tour title.

 

 

This was the first final of the year for the world no. 6 Indian pair after their disappointing outing in last week's All England Championships where they had exited in the second round. They played the Malaysia Open semifinal in January.

 

Overall, it was the fifth career world tour title for the Indian pair, who had claimed the India Open and French Open last year, besides securing the Thailand Open in 2019 and Hyerabad Open in 2018.

 

Satwik and Chirag had also won the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold.
