The Indian men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty ended up as runners-up at the French Open Badminton Tournament after they lost the summit clash in straight games against World No. 1 pairing of Marcus Fernaldi and Kevin Sukamuljo.
In what turned out to be a one-sided final, the Indian duo was outclassed 18-21, 16-21 in just 35 minutes by the top seeds from Indonesia on Sunday. In the opening game, Satwik and Chirag lagged behind from the start, giving a 9-4 lead to their opponents. The Indian pair, however, tried their way to crawl, but were still trailing at the mid-game break.
