Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lost in the final of the China Masters BWF Super-750 tournament in Shenzhen on Sunday. The world No.5 Indians went down to the world No.1 Chinese duo of Lian Wei Keng and Wang Chang 19-21, 21-18, 19-21 in the men's doubles final.
A splendid late rally by the Indians in the decider rattled the Chinese but was not enough. Trailing 13-20 in the decider, Satwik-Chirag saved six championship points before the Chinese had the last laugh. Saving six match points is no mean task but a net chord saved the day for the Chinese.
