It is their second Super 750 title this year and their fourth overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reigning Asian Games men\u2019s doubles champions became the first Indians to win the tournament since its 2005 inception. This marks Satwik and Chirag&#8217;s third BWF World Tour final of 2026. They finished runners-up at the Thailand Open in May before winning the Singapore Open later that month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He and Ren made a blistering start, racing to a 5-0 lead and putting the Indians under pressure. Satwik and Chirag tried to fight back, but the Chinese stayed ahead 11-5 at the break and kept control of the game, winning the opener 21-11 in 18 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second game began in similar fashion as \u200bChina took an early 2-0 lead, but the Indians fought back to level the score at 3-3 and 6-6. Satwik and Chirag then took control, leading 11-7 at the break. Some powerful smashes helped extend Indian&#8217;s lead to 17-11. The Indians held off a late comeback to win 21-13, forcing a decider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese came out strongly in the decider, opening up a 4-0 lead. \u200bThe Indians fought back to tie it at 7-7 and took an 11-9 lead at the break before the Indians edged ahead 9-8 and carried an 11-9 lead into the final interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Satwik and Chirag held their nerve, winning four straight points to secure a 21-17 victory and take the title in a 70-minute thriller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shenzhen, India&#8217;s Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty won the men&#8217;s doubles title at the China Masters, a BWF Super 750 tournament, here on Sunday.&nbsp; The world No. 5 Indians, who [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3713,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-display","category-sports","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3712"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3714,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712\/revisions\/3714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
