A Dream Come True for Indian Men’s Pairs
In an impressive display of skill and determination, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty secured a remarkable victory over Lu Ching Yao and Yang Po Han. This win marked the end of a long wait for an Indian men’s pair to claim a title at the French Open. In the post-match interview, Rankireddy expressed his elation and acknowledged the hard work they had put in to achieve this milestone. He also mentioned how his compatriot, Kidambi Srikanth’s laptop screensaver featuring his own triumph in 2017, fueled their motivation. With the HYLO Open on the horizon, Rankireddy and Shetty are ready to continue their journey of success.
Malaysian Women’s Pairs Make History
For Malaysia, Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan’s triumph was especially significant as it marked their first-ever victory in women’s doubles at the French Open. The duo’s path to victory had not been easy, as Tan had suffered an injury during the Japan Open in September, almost jeopardizing their participation in the European leg. However, they persevered and emerged as champions after a thrilling match against Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara. The French crown adds to their recent gold medal win at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, solidifying their status as a formidable force in badminton. Tan and Muralitharan highlighted the importance of continuous improvement and expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support they received from the Parisian crowd.
