US EditionBWF World Tour Finals: Satwik-Chirag Pair Remains Unbeaten, Seals Knockout Berth
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty remained unbeaten with three wins in the 'Group of Death' to become the first Indian men's doubles pair to reach the semifinals.
- On Thursday, Satwik-Chirag stormed into the semi-finals with a come-from-behind win over Aaron-Soh, topping Group B unbeaten at the BWF World Tour Finals.
- Facing a do-or-die match, Satwik-Chirag needed the second game to keep semi-final hopes alive, fuelled by past pain from Paris 2024 and prior losses to Aaron-Soh.
- Opening the decider 11-9, Shetty received a yellow card during a tense rally, with a 47-shot exchange and Satwik helping make it 19-16 before they seized control.
- The win secured a first for Indian men's doubles, and set up a semi vs Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang after Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty became the first Indian pair to reach the BWF World Tour Finals 2025 semi-finals.
- Emerging unbeaten from the Group of Death emphasises the feat as Satwik-Chirag faced Aaron Chia, whose disruptive play caused plenty of ruckus on Friday in Hangzhou.
