Badminton, French Open Super 750 Final live: Satwik-Chirag look to reclaim title in Paris

Hello and welcome to Scroll’s coverage of Indian badminton

The Indian men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are in their fourth straight final in the BWF World Tour circuit. The world No 1 pair, however, have lost their previous three title clashes and have a point to prove at the French Open Super 750.

Rankireddy and Shetty are yet to drop a game in the tournament in Paris and will start as favourites against Chinese Taipei’s Lee Jhe-Huei and Yang Po-Hsuan. The Indians have a 2-0 head-to-head record against the world No 16 pair.

Rankireddy and Shetty also have fond memories of the French Open – a tournament where they finished runners-up in 2019 before winning the title in 2022.

Can they reclaim that title? Answers in a bit.
