Indonesia Open: Satwik-Chirag Power Into Quarters, Sindhu Exits After Thriller (Ld)
Indonesia Open Super: India's top men’s doubles pair, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, battled their way into the quarterfinals of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 with a gritty comeback win on Thursday while PV Sindhu bowed out in the second round after a hard-fought three-game encounter.
The 2023 champions in Jakarta, Satwik and Chirag showed nerves of steel in a 68-minute rollercoaster against Denmark’s Rasmus Kjaer and Frederik Sogaard. The world No. 22 Indian duo, coming off a semifinal run at the Singapore Open, edged the world No. 16 pair 16-21, 21-18, 22-20 in a contest that swung wildly before the Indians sealed it with a brilliant finish.
The match started on the back foot for Satwik and Chirag, as the Danes took control early, dominating the net and outpacing the Indians in the first game. Despite a mid-game fightback from 6-10 down to 10-all, the Indians couldn't stop Kjaer and Sogaard from claiming the opener.
