An Se Young wins the Singapore Open Super 750 after a thrilling three-game final against Akane Yamaguchi. An took the opening game 21-11, Yamaguchi fought back to level with a 21-17 second game, and the decider turned into a tense finish with Yamaguchi leading 19-16.

But An stayed composed under pressure, storming back with five straight points to clinch it 21-19 and seal the title in a dramatic finish.

And we are underway. Chirag means business from the very first rally, unleashing a smash that Fikri simply cannot handle, but he gives the point straight back with a careless net error.

Satwik picks up where his partner left off and puts one away cleanly, only for the Indonesians to level it up without fuss. Two-all, the match is barely breathing and already both sides are at each other's throats.

What a rally that was. Satwik is hammering smash after smash and Alfian is just standing there taking every single one of them, lifting, resetting, not giving an inch. And then, of all the ways to end it, Satwik chips a clear just long. Alfian had already moved the wrong way and simply let it go, cool as you like.

Lucky? Maybe. But he would never have reached it anyway. The Indonesians take it and suddenly they are 21-18 up. That defence, at this moment in the match, could be the difference.

Game two, and Satwik and Chirag draw first blood off a fortunate net cord that bobbles over. Fikri pulls it back to level almost immediately with some clever net play, calm and unhurried. But then Satwik just takes over, that impossible combination of size and speed, arriving at the net before logic allows and putting it away hard.

Twice. Three points clear at the interval and the Indians are in the driver's seat.

Oh this is getting tense. Fikri's lift goes long and SatChi are suddenly two points from forcing a third game. Satwik then drives a clear right onto the line, Alfian leaps to leave it, awful decision, and now it is one point away. Five game points on the board and you can feel it in the air.

Three net cords in a single game, Chirag will take every single one of them. The last one draws SatChi level and we are into a decider, 21-17 the final count. The Indians were a different animal this game, more aggressive, more purposeful, and Alfian and Fikri simply could not find an answer for long enough. One game all and the third is going to be something special.

Alfian is taking this game by the scruff of the neck. A body smash, then a placed shot to the corner that had no right going in, and the lead is suddenly down to two. Then he absolutely thunders one to Chirag's left, Chirag's hand goes out on pure reflex, slip fielder instincts, but it is past him before the thought completes.

Fikri's quick hands at the net keeping the Indonesians in the rally beforehand too.

They have done it. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are the 2026 Singapore Open Super 750 champions and they are dancing on that court and every single person watching knows why.

Two years without a title. Two years of questions and pressure and expectation. And here, in three hard-fought games against a dangerous Indonesian pair, they answered every single one of them. This is their third Super 750 and it might just be the sweetest.

The fight back from dropping the first game 18-21 took real courage, real belief, and when the match needed someone to stand up in those closing stages it was Satwik, smashing his way through with that enormous, irresistible power game of his to seal it 21-17, 21-16 in the final two games.

What a tournament. What a match. What a pair.

That’s a wrap from this match. We’ll be back with another live blog soon. Bye for now.
