Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty dished out an attacking masterclass to join HS Prannoy in the semifinals of the India Open Super 750 badminton tournament. Indian duo will face Malaysia's fourth seed Soh Wooi Yik and Aaron Chia in the semifinals.

Star men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty dished out an attacking masterclass to join HS Prannoy in the semifinals of the India Open Super 750 badminton tournament here on Friday.
The world number 2 Indian pair completely controlled the game and varied the pace with their array of shots, securing a 21-7 21-10 win over world number 5 Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in a lop-sided quarterfinal at the KD Jadhav Indoor Stadium.
The Asian Games champions will face Malaysia's fourth seed Soh Wooi Yik and Aaron Chia in the semifinals.
"They have given us some sleepless nights so just wanted to play my A game. I wanted to show them my rhythm. We had a lot of hunger. We are not satisfied. We have another revenge match coming up tomorrow," Satwik said.
Prannoy produced a valiant effort to progress to the men's singles semifinals with a thrilling three-game win over Chinese Taipei's Wang Tzu Wei.
The 31-year-old, who had won the bronze medal at the Asian Games and World Championships last year, recovered from a slump in the second game and showed nerves of steel in the decider to eke out a 21-11 17-21 21-18 win over world number 28 Wang in a 77-minute match.
It is his first semifinal of the India Open.
Coming into the match with a 5-3 head-to-head count, Prannoy dished out an attacking game and constructed his rallies well, keeping his opponent to the back and often finishing points with steep smashes.
One such smash took him to 11-4 at the interval.
Trailing 4-13, Wang showed sparks of his attacking game by winning a point after troubling Prannoy with a barrage of returns. A lovely cross court net shot followed by a smash gave Prannoy 18-5 lead but he missed the lines thrice to lose the next four points.
Wang suddenly looked in control as he reached double digits with a net kill and then unleashed a smash to take his sixth point on the trot.
A lucky net chord and then a net error from Wang gave the Indian nine game point opportunities and he sealed it with a backhand return to take the opening game.
After the change of sides, Wang engaged Prannoy in attacking rallies as he stepped up the pace a bit. The Indian missed a few points after failing in his execution as Wang moved to 9-6 before taking a healthy five-point lead.
With the crowd chanting "HSP", the Indian kept fighting but the Taiwanese moved ahead to 17-14 and soon grabbed three game points and took the match to the decider after the Indian smashed out.
Wang kept the pressure on Prannoy in the third game but the Indian responded with a quick return to serve and then a net kill as they were locked 5-5 at one stage.
Wang took the next five points with a fabulous cross court smash leaving his opponent flat on the floor.
A beautiful backhand drive and then a controlled net shot followed by a smash took the Indian to 9-10. However, Wang ensured he had a two-point lead at the interval with a steep return.
Prannoy kept snapping at his opponent's heels to move closer at 11-12 but two unforced errors again pegged him back.
A fighting Prannoy soon clawed back at 14-14 after unleashing a smash. Wang rained down a straight smash but sent the next one out as it was 15-15.
Prannoy recovered from an awkward position to unleash a smash on the forehand corner and then produced a net kill to move into the lead at 17-16.
Soon an alert Prannoy put one away at the forehand corner to gain two match points and converted it at the first chance.
Earlier, world No. 1 and defending champion An Se Young of Korea retired hurt against Singapore's Jia Min Yeo after aggravating her knee injury in women's singles quarterfinals.
The 21-year-old Young, who had hurt her knee during the Asian Games last October, was trailing 19-21 0-3 against Jia Min, when she decided to throw in the towel.
The world No. 20 Singaporean thus recorded only her second win against Young, who had made a good start to the season with a title winning run at Malaysia Open Super 1000 last week.
Jia Min will next face former world no 1 Tai Tzu Ying, who beat China's sixth seed He Bing Jiao 21-12 21-12.

World No. 2 Satwik and Chirag, who had finished runner-up at Malaysia Super 1000 last week in Kuala Lumpur, eked out a 21-15 19-21 21-16 win over Fang-Chih Lee and Fang-Jen Lee of Chinese Taipei.

Satwik-Chirag pair wins, error-prone Srikanth goes down in India Open opener

World No. 2 Satwik and Chirag, who had finished runner-up at Malaysia Super 1000 last week in Kuala Lumpur, eked out a 21-15 19-21 21-16 win over Fang-Chih Lee and Fang-Jen Lee of Chinese Taipei.

Celebrated Indian shuttlers Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty advanced to the second round of the men's doubles event at India Open Super 750 tournament but an erratic Kidambi Srikanth bowed out after a straight-game loss to Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk Yiu here on Wednesday.
World No. 2 Satwik and Chirag, who had finished runner-up at Malaysia Super 1000 last week in Kuala Lumpur, eked out a 21-15 19-21 21-16 win over Fang-Chih Lee and Fang-Jen Lee of Chinese Taipei.
Earlier, a flurry of brilliant shots was sandwiched between a series of unforced errors during the 47-minute opening round clash as Srikanth went down 22-24 13-21 to world no. 18 Lee.
The Indian duo will face the winner of the match between England&rsquo;s Ben Lane and Sean Vendy and Chiense Taipei&rsquo;s Lu Ching Yao and Yang Po Han.
Satwik and Chirag, the Asian Games gold medallists, looked sharp as they opened up a lead and earned the bragging rights by grabbing the opening game. But Fang-Chih and Fang-Jen managed to claw back in the second game to take a 11-5 lead at the break.
The Indian pair however led a late fight back to narrow it down to 18-19 but their opponents held their nerves to force a decider.
In the final game, Satwik and Chirag once again dominated the rallies with their attacking strokes to come up trumps.
"We are really happy with the way we are playing and the way we have started. We have worked a lot on our defence over the past two years and it has brought a new facet in our armor because you can't always rely on your attack in these slow conditions.
"We are happy to get that first win here and hopefully, we go deep into the tournament," Satwik said. In men's singles, Srikanth made a good start in the opening game, playing some fine strokes from the back court to keep his nose ahead. But Lee kept breathing down his neck and slowly came back to the groove and, following a tight battle, moved ahead from 17-17 to grab three game points.
Srikanth managed to claw back at 20-20 before taking a one-point lead, but then, sprayed a shot wide, as Lee sealed the game with a crisp drop in the end.
While he looked good in the first game, Srikanth fell behind 2-11 at the break after the change of ends. He recovered to 6-12, but the damage was already done as the gap was too big to be bridged by the Indian.
"I know I have been making unforced errors for sometimes and I am working on it," said Srikanth after the match.
"I don't play safe, that's my game. I try to earn points. Hopefully, things will be better in next few tournaments. Parupalli (Kashyap) has a few things on his mind, so lets see. If I win a few tournaments, I will qualify for Olympics.
"I am not thinking about it as I just don't want to qualify only, I want to be a medal contender too." Earlier, world No. 20 Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa, who had won the Guwahati Masters Super 100 last December, went down fighting to world No. 10 Thai pair of Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda prajongjai 5-21 21-18 11-21 in their women's doubles opener.
Sathish Kumar Karunakaran and Aakarshi Kashyap also faced defeats, losing to Japan's Takuma Obayashi and China's Chen Yu Fei respectively.
Among other Indians, the men's pair of Krishna Prasad Garaga and Sai Pratheek, and women's duo of Ashwini Bhat and Shikha Gautam went down in straight games to make an early exit from the tournament.
