Satwik-Chirag storm into final of Korea Open

The World No.3 Indian pair notched up a 21-15, 24-22 win over the second-seeded Chinese in a 40-minute duel at the Jinnam stadium

Star Indian pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty entered the final of Korea Open Super 500 badminton tournament with a thrilling straight-game win over World No. 2 Chinese pair of Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang here on Saturday.

The World No.3 Indian pair notched up a 21-15, 24-22 win over the second-seeded Chinese in a 40-minute duel at the Jinnam stadium. 

It was Satwik and Chirag’s first win over the Chinese pair following two earlier defeats. “It feels really good to play another final. Since that first-round loss in Singapore Open, we had this in our mind that we need to go out and give 100 per cent. Winning or losing is part of the game but we didn’t want to come out of the court thinking that we didn’t give our best, that has been our aim,” Chirag said after the match.
