Singapore Open 2026: Satwik-Chirag Win Men's Doubles Title

In badminton, India's men's doubles pair, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, have won the final of the Singapore Open tournament.

In the men's doubles final of this BWF Super 750 tournament, the Indian duo defeated the Indonesian pair of Muhammad Shohibul Fikri and Fajar Alfian by a score of 18-21, 21-17, 21-16.

With this victory, the pair ended a two-year title drought.

Earlier, in the semi-final match, the Indian duo defeated the world's number one pair—South Korea's Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho—a pair that had won 34 consecutive matches.

The Asian Games and Commonwealth Games champions staged a remarkable comeback to secure their first World Tour title in two years and the ninth of their career. Additionally, they claimed their third Super 750 title.

This marked Satwik and Chirag's first title on the tour since the 2024 Thailand Open. The Thailand Open had also taken place exactly two years prior, in May.

The Singapore Open victory was India's second BWF World Tour title of the year; prior to this, Devika Sihag had won the women's singles title at the Thailand Masters Super 300.

Previously, Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, and B. Sai Praneeth have won this title; however, all of these titles were secured in the singles category. Other Winners of the 2026 Singapore Badminton Open
