Odense [Denmark], October 18 (ANI): India's ace men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj rankireddy and Chirag shetty advanced to the semi-finals of the men's doubles in the Denmark Open 2025 badminton tournament in Denmark on Friday, with a 21-15, 18-21, 21-16 win over Indonesia's unseeded pair Muhammad Rian Ardianto-Rahmat Hidayat in 65 minutes.
In a thrilling match, Satwik and Chirag pulled away from 17-16 with four straight points to take the opening game, but their opponents fought back in the second, drawing level at 17-all after facing a 10-4 deficit, as per Olympics.com.
In the third, Satwik and Chirag quickly regained control after an even start and sustained the momentum to seal victory and a place in the semi-finals.
Chirag and Rankireddy will face Japan's world No. 10 duo, Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi, on Saturday. The Indian pair have the edge in their head-to-head, leading 4-1 against the Japanese.
After successive runners-up finishes at the Hong Kong Open and the China Masters last month, Sat-Chi are aiming to go one better at the ongoing BWF Super 750 tournament.
