Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty continue to enjoy strong runs as a doubles partners, and have a chance at getting their hands on a first BWF Championships as they reach the latter rounds of the ongoing tournament in Paris, France.
After their straight set victory over Malaysian pair Soh and Chia, they face the last remaining Chinese pair still alive at the Championships: the young pair of Chen Boyang and Liu Yi.
The Indian pair are the higher seeds, and might therefore consider themselves favourites to find some success on the tour with a telling victory and medal achievement in this tournament. Reaching the final will be the key goal in mind at first, and getting past this team will be a tough obstacle int erms of achieving that.
The Indian pair are showing some devastating form: in their last two matches, they began with knocking out sixth seeds Liang and Wang in a come from behind victory in the round of 16, following it up with an upset over second-seesed Soh and Chia in the quarterfinals. Three seeds in a row is a tough gauntlet to run through, but based purely off rank alone, these are easier opponents. Is that something that will prove to be a mental challenge, or can Satwik-Chirag fight through it to reach a final they feel they will deserve?
