Hong Kong Open 2025: The star men doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have entered the Hong Kong Open Super 500 final with a win in straight games.
The Indian men’s doubles pair reached the finals. The world number nine pair defeated Chinese Taipei’s Bing-Vai Lynn and Chenn Cheng Kuan 21-17 21-15 to make it to their first finals after defeat in six semi-final matches in this session. The eighth seeded Indian pair will face the winner of the second semi-final between China’s Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang and Chinese Taipei’s Fang-Chowh and Fang-Jen Lee.
A year ago, the Indian pair was denied the medal in the Olympics by Aaron Chia and Soh Wui Yik of Malaysia. She saved her reputation by winning a bronze medal in the World Championship and after Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu became the third Indian pair to win many medals in this competition.

His return to court was again delayed due to chickenpox. Chirag also repeatedly struggled with back injury, due to which the pair lost the rhythm.
