Great effort .... I hope they can maintain this for the next few tournaments and be seeded in the top 8 for tokyo ..... Then they can be a genuine medal contender strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siddhartha Talukdar 151 Posted October 27, 2019 #9115 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Watched the men's doubles semis highlights and am really impressed with Satwik-Chirag duo. Their telepathic movement in the court, lightening fast reflexes especially of Satwik, ability to return in odd body posture which all the requirements in the doubles game. They look mighty fit and tall which helps in delivering killer smashes If they get a decent draw in the Olympics they could be a real medal contender. Personally I would like Satwik to concentrate on men's doubles only as Pranaav-Sikki duo is decent enough to qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the focus should be to qualify in the top 8 in men doubles and ensure seeding in Olympics strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the focus should be to qualify in the top 8 in men doubles and ensure seeding in Olympics Unlike singles where 16 players are seeded, in doubles in last 2 Olympics only 4 are seeded, and then redraw for knockouts after match-fixing fiasco in 2012. Not aware this time how many pairs will be given seeds and hence I mentioned they need a decent draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reasonable chance in mixed is ashwini -Satwik Assuming if either pair does qualify what is their realistic targets and can they reach the quarters. I am not aware if either pair has beaten any top 10 pairs consistently so far. Also the qualification is fairly 'easy' as doubles rankings is dominated by few nations - China, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia and Denmark and they just need to be within top 14th rank of qualification rankings which is about 22-25th World rankings which they are anyway.
