When the Indian No. 1 doubles pair lost the final round of the Indian Open 2024 in January, to the Korean pair of Seo-Kang, the only thing that helped Satwiksairaj and Chirag move on was - revenge! They considered the defeat at the homeland as motivation to perform better at International tournaments. And here it comes, the time that brings the two teams crossing swords once again at the Arena Porte de la Chapelle, Paris.
Satwiksairaj and Chirag advanced to the semifinal after defeating 21-19 21-13 Thailand's world No. 32 Supak Jomkoh and Kittinupong Kedren in the quarter-finals. Satwik-Chirag won the French Open Super 750 doubles title in 2022, but could not defend it from the Korean No.3 pair in 2023. This upcoming round will decide the outcome again -- a chance for India to seek revenge or a consecutive title for Korea.
