The Indian men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty finished second best after losing the finals in straight games against top seeds Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo of Indonesia at the French Open Super 750 here Sunday.
The Indian duo suffered a 18-21 16-21 loss to Marcus and Kevin, who are enjoying their 121st week as world no 1. Satwik and Chirag had come into the match with a 0-6 head-to-head record against the Indonesian pair.
Satwik and Chirag, who had won their maiden Super 500 title at the Thailand Open in August, looked a bit nervy in the 35-minute final.
Despite the loss, the duo’s effort is commendable as this is the first time an Indian men’s doubles pair has reached a World Tour 750 final.
Partho Ganguli and Vikram Singh were the last all-Indian pair to win the French Open in 1983.

How Olympic qualification works:The winners
will be determined as follows: teams will be ranked according to the
number of points each has accumulated in both matches (for each match, 3
points are awarded to the winner, 1 point to each team in the event of a
draw and 0 point to the loser). If there is equality among the two
teams, then the teams will be ranked according to their respective goal
difference. If the equality remains, a shoot-out competition will be
played to establish the winner.
