Overview
- Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty beat Indonesia’s Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri 18-21, 21-17, 21-16 to win the Singapore Open Super 750 final on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
- Earlier in the tournament the Indian duo defeated world No.1 Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae 21-19, 21-18 in the semifinals, ending a long unbeaten run that several outlets reported as a 34-match streak.
- The victory is the first time an Indian pair has claimed the men's doubles crown at the Singapore Open and marks the pair’s first title since the 2024 Thailand Open.
- India’s other medal hopes fell short during the event with PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen exiting in the quarterfinals and mixed pair Dhruv Kapila–Tanisha Crasto losing in the mixed doubles semifinals.
- Beyond the trophy, the win should lift Satwik and Chirag’s confidence and ranking momentum for the rest of the World Tour season as they return to form after a string of runner-up finishes.
