Satwik-Chirag Indonesia Open Badminton Quarterfinal 2025 Live Updates: SatChi in hunt for semifinal spot

Satwik-Chirag, who were only sporadically in action after their heartbreak at Paris Olympics last year, have hit some good form in the last week. After retiring hurt early at the All England Open, they hit the ground running in Singapore last week, beating the new World No 1 pair of Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin on their way to the semifinal in Singapore where they eventually lost to their nemeses in Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik. Satwik-Chirag are now ranked at 22 in the world, up five places since last week.

Satwik-Chirag scrape through to last 8

In a tense 68-minute cliffhanger at the Indonesia Open Super 1000, India's Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty secured a hard-fought 16-21, 21-18, 22-20 victory, propelling them into the quarterfinals.

Their win over Denmark's Rasmus Kjaer and Frederik Sogaard, who had upset World No. 3 Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, wasn't without a streak of struggles. The match saw ashare of jarring notes and iffy play from both sides. A particularly wincing moment for spectators was when the Indian duo clanged their racquets twice, a result of confused communication while going for the same shuttle. However, the final three minutes of the game proved to be nothing short of magical, turning the tide in their favor.
