YEOSU: India's men's doubles pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy expressed happiness on winning their third BWF Super 500 title of their career and especially at the way they played throughout the week in the Korea Open badminton championship.
"The way we played today in the finals, didn’t start that well but happy that we could win that second game and keep the momentum until the very end and yes, extremely happy that we could win the consecutive titles after the Indonesia Open," Chirag Shetty said after the match.
The result also means Satwik and Chirag have won their last five finals on the BWF World Tour. The Indian pair last lost a title decider at the French Open 2019 against another Indonesian pair, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.
Though they have had a fine season so far, Satwik said he was happy with their play and overall performance in the Korea Open.
"It’s been pretty good week for us. We played some amazing badminton throughout the week here and I am happy with the performance today," he said.
Satwik said that they would like to continue with the momentum in next week's Japan Open and subsequent tournaments this season.
"We want to continue with the same momentum next week at Japan Open so we’ll go back now, rest and focus again. Thank you for all the support," Satwiksairaj Rankireddy said. IANS
