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 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.
