The two-time World Championships bronze medallists displayed their prowess on Wednesday with a commanding straight-games victory.
Impressive Victory
In a thrilling match that lasted 42 minutes, Satwik and Chirag defeated the Malaysian pair of Junaidi Arif and Roy King Yap with a score of 24-22, 21-13. This victory comes on the heels of their triumph in the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Open last week, where they also emerged victorious against the same opponents in a hard-fought three-game encounter.
The Indian duo’s next challenge at the China Masters will be against Chinese Taipei’s Chiu Hsiang Chieh and Wang Chi-Lin, setting the stage for another exciting match-up.
Disappointing Results in Men’s Singles and Mixed Doubles

Sen lost in straight games with a score of 21-11, 21-10 in just half an hour.
Similarly, the mixed doubles pair of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto suffered a setback, falling to China’s Feng Yan Zhe and Huang Dong Ping with a score of 21-19, 21-13.
Upcoming Matches
