Malaysia Open BWF World Tour: India's top men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty crashed out of the Malaysia Open BWF World Tour Super 1000 event after losing to a South Korean pair in the semifinals on Saturday.
The Indian duo lost to South Korea's Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae 10-21, 15-21 in straight games in 40 minutes. The result also ended India's representation in the year's first Super 1000 tournament with prize money of USD 1,450,000. Sawig-Chirag finished runner-up in the last edition of the tournament.
The Indian duo had a slow start, trailing 6-11 in the opening game. The Korean pair capitalised on the momentum, taking the first game 21-10 in just 19 minutes. The seventh-seeded Indians bounced back in the second game, leading 11-8 at the midway point. However, their advantage was short-lived, as they eventually lost 15-21 to end their three-match winning run in the competition.
