India’s Satvikasairaj rankings and Chirag Shetty entered the second round of the men’s doubles competition in all England Championships, who win the straight game on Danmark’s Daniel Lundgard and Mades Wesergard. Returning to court after his father’s loss last month, Satvik performed an impressive performance with his couple partner Chirag, who won 21–17, 21–15 in just 40 minutes on Wednesday. After sealing the victory, Satvik raised his finger in the sky, his gaze fixed towards the sky – perhaps reaching his father, looking beyond him.
“It’s difficult, but how life is,” said Satvik. “It was not expected.” The 24 -year -old man from Amlapuram thanked his partner for staying there during this challenging time.
“During the difficult times he (Shetty) came to my hometown, we practiced a little there, and I am grateful for this. He was there during my injury; his parents came down and our coaches also came to my house city.
“My father always wanted to bring him there.” Considering the sudden turn of events in the last fortnight, Chirag said: “Credit to Satvik, what he is doing and how he has come back and decided to play here, no one can do so.
“Kudos is for him, he is a strong-wisdom person who is to come out of it, and keeps it all aside, because his father wanted to do him. I am proud to be his partner.” The 7th seeded pair will take China’s Hao Naan Jhi and We Han Zeng in the next Thursday.
