India Open 2025: Satwik-Chirag exits in semifinals after losing to Malaysian duo
The HinduHaving set the bar high and raised expectations throughout the tournament, the Indian challenge at the India Open ended rather tamely. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lost in straight games 21-18 21-14 to bow out in the semifinals against the Malaysian pair of Sze Fei Goh and Nur Izzuddin on Saturday. Despite a good start in the opening game to stay level on points and taking a 15-12 lead, the Indians erred as the Malaysians, ranked second in the world, constantly moved the shuttle around and took charge at the net for seven straight points, going 19-15 ahead before closing the game at 21-18. Rankireddy and Chirag could manage only two of the first 10 points before fighting back to stay level at 14-14 but the Malaysians dictated the terms as the Indians were always playing catch-up. We didn’t really expect so many flicks going into the game, especially from 15-12 up in the first game,” Chirag admitted after the match.
