Hong Kong Open: Satwik-Chirag Advance To Round Of 16; Kiran George Enters Main Draw
Satwik and Chirag, the world No. 8 pair and eighth seeds in the tournament, looked sharp in their first-round clash against Taiwan’s Chiu Hsiang Chieh and Wang Chi-Lin. The Indian duo raced through the opening game 21-13 with commanding play at the net and their trademark booming smashes. However, the Taiwanese pair regrouped in the second game, pushing Satwik-Chirag into longer rallies and forcing errors to take it 21-18 and level the match.
In the decider, the Indians rediscovered their rhythm. Combining quick interceptions with relentless attacking play, they regained complete control to close out the contest 21-10. Fresh from winning a bronze medal at the World Championships in Paris last month – their second at the marquee event – the pair will now face either Japan’s Kenya Mitsuhashi/Hiroki Okamura or Thailand’s Peeratchai Sukphun/Pakkapon Teeraratsakul in the second round.
