China Masters BWF World Tour: India's top men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have progressed to the quarterfinals of the China Masters badminton tournament after registering a 21-19, 21-15 win over Denmark's Rasmus Kjaer and Frederik Sogaard here on Thursday.
Rankireddy and Shetty were the first Indians to win the match in the day and move ahead in the tournament after P.V. Sindhu, Anupama Upadhyaya, Malvika Bansod and women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand lost their respective second round matches in this BWF World Tour Super 750 event.
Facing the World No. 15 pair, the Indian duo, playing their first tournament after the Paris Olympics, showed their dominance on the court despite trailing 5-2 in the first game and took a slender 11-9 lead during the break.
