Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty set up a final against Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan at the YONEX-SUNRISE India Open 2022 – the feat particularly special as they made their first home final, and that too against their idols.
Both semifinals were one-sided affairs – the Daddies got the better of Malaysia’s Ong Yew Sin/Teo Ee Yi 21-15 21-18, before the Indians stopped French duo Fabien Delrue/William Villeger 21-10 21-18.
“It’s overwhelming, it’s our first final after a very long time,” said Shetty. The Indians were last in a final at the French Open in October 2019.
