Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty Pair Eye Top Spot at French Open

Currently, the world’s best pair, Shetty and Rankireddy are in Paris for the $850,000 French Open. Sindhu too recently led India to a historic gold at the Badminton Asia Team Championships.

"It would be fair to say that, as the world number 1 today, they are definitely a prospect to win at the highest level,” Gopichand, speaking at the inauguration of a sports conclave here, said about Rankireddy and Shetty.

“They are a solid pair; whenever they step on the court, they are one of the favorites. Months away, today, if I have to pick across sports, across countries, any one pair which is the pair to beat at the Olympics, it will have to be Satwik and Chirag.”
