Satwik-Chirag make triumphant return at Singapore Open; Lakshya Sen forced to retire due to back pain

Satwik and Chirag showed little signs of rust in their first game since their injury-forced exit from the All England Championships in March, defeating Malaysia’s Choong Hon Jian and Muhammad Haikal 21-16 21-13 in just under 40 minutes in the Round of 32.

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty had missed the Sudirman Cup recently due to an illness to the former, and waited until the Singapore Open to make their return to the court. PTI
