Excellent achievement. I think they are our best prospect in badminton at the Olympics with the singles scene looking bleak.

[jayakris]

Yeah, if the draw is a bit favorable, and if they show a bit of an "X factor" while playing for the country, they could get us a medal.

They withdrew from the Spanish tournament when trailing 9-11 in game 1. Seemingly Satwik has a leg injury. He definitely appears to be quite injury prone.

[Saffron Lenin]

Yea, I watch both semifinal and final of Swiss open, where satwik was struggling in both games!!!

Indonesia Open: Satwik and Chirag create history with first Super 1000 title

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty became the first Indian pair to win a Super 1000 title as they beat reigning world champions, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia, 21-17, 21-18 in the final on Sunday.

The Indians won the final convincingly, beating the second seeds in just 42 minutes. Both pairs were coming off thrilling semifinal wins where they fought back from a game down. It was the Malaysians that started strong, racing away to a 3-0 lead in quick time. But the Indian put behind the starting troubles and stepped up the attack that saw them reach the final.

Their aggressive play kept forcing errors from their opponents, who were suffering from nerves of their own having never won a BWF World Tour Title before. Once the Indians settled in rhythm, they forced the pace of play and headed into the interval with a small 2-point lead. The second half of the game saw their attack continue to reap rewards and they converted their first game point to edge ahead.

It was impressive display from the seventh-seeded Indians against a pair who used to have an edge over them. Once they recovered from the early deficit, they were easily the better combination and kept their foot on the gas to allow minimal slip ups.

This is their third title of the year, after the Swiss Open in March and Asian Championship in April. It's also a big win in terms of the Olympic qualification cycle.
