The Commonwealth Games gold medalist duo of Satwik and Chirag, world number 6, overcame a game deficit to beat unseeded Min Hyuk Kang and Seung Jae Seo of Korea 17-21 21-19 21-18 to seal their maiden Super-1000 final berth.

The win also extended their overall head-to-head record over Kang and Seo to 3-2. The seventh seeds Satwik and Chirag will face the second seeds Chia and Soh in the summit clash on Sunday to win their first Super 1000 title.

The men’s doubles began on an even keel before the Korean pair surged ahead to 6-3. Once they conceded the lead, Satwik and Chirag were forced to play a catch-up game. The Indians used their aggressive play to reduce the margin to 15-19 and then 17-20 before Kang and Seo kept their composure to pocket the first game, courtesy of an unforced error.

The Indians looked more purposeful after the change of ends and took an early 6-3 lead before racing to 11-4 with a flurry of fast-paced shots and body smashes in the second game.

Satwik and Chirag were also helped by some bad line calls and unforced errors from the Koreans. But Kang and Seo didn’t give up and clawed their way back in the game to reduce the gap to 18-15. The Indians managed to hold on to their nerves and played sensibly to pocket the second game and level the scores.

The decider went neck and neck till the first five points before Satwik and Chirag pocketed seven straight points to race to 12-5 lead. The Koreans tried hard to bounce back and at one time levelled the scores at 16-16 but that is when Satwik and Chirag stepped it up and closed out the game and the match.
