Satwik-Chirag, Men’s Doubles Hong Kong Open Badminton Final 2025 LIVE Score: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will be vying for the men’s doubles title at the Hong Kong Open Super 500 and later in the day, Lakshya Sen will be going for the men’s singles title at the tournament at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Satwik and Chirag will be facing China’s Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang. The Indian world no 9 pair got there after beating Chinese Taipei’s Chen Cheng Kuan and Lin Bing-Wei 21-17, 21-1 in the semifinal, which lasted just 38 minutes. This will be the 10th meeting between the two former world No 1 pairs, with Liang-Wang leading 6-3 but Satwik-Chirag winning the most recent clash in Paris at the Worlds Championships round of 16.

Lakshya, meanwhile, beat world no.3 Chou Tien Chen in a rather epic straight-games win that ended 23-21, 22-20 in the Indian’s favour. This is Lakshya’s first final since the Syed Modi Super 300 last November. The match might have ended in straight games but it wasn’t straightforward, as the players provided a throwback to Paris 2024, where the Indian had won in three games, in another match filled with highlight-worthy rallies. In the final, Lakshya faces a familiar foe in Li Shi Feng for the 14th time in a rivalry that dates back to their junior days. Read more about Lakshya Sen’s win here.
