Ace Indian badminton duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty got the better of Koreans PH Yang and LH Lee at the French Open Super 750 on Sunday.
Rankireddy and Shetty got the better of Yang and Lee in straight games 21-11, 21-17 to claim the title without dropping a game in the entire tournament.
The world No. 1 Indian pair had finished runners-up in the French Open in 2019 before winning the title in 2022.
The Indian duo had finished second best at the Malaysia Super 1000, and India Super 750 this year, while signing off as runners-up at the China Masters Super 750 as well last year.
Satwik and Chirag proved third-time lucky and their stellar show this week only reconfirmed chief coach Pullela Gopichand’s assertion that the duo will be the favourites to win the Paris Olympics gold
