Jakarta:Brimming with confidence after breaking their title drought in Singapore, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will look to make it a double celebration in a week's time when they open their campaign in the Thailand Open Super 1000 badminton tournament starting here on Tuesday.

The former world No.1 pair of Satwik and Chirag are seeded fourth here and will open their campaign against the Malaysian combination of Kang Khai Xing and Aaron Tai. On Sunday, Satwik and Chirag fought back from a game down to clinch their maiden Singapore Open title, defeating Indonesia's Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri in the men's doubles final.

The victory was particularly significant for the world No. 4 duo, who became the first Indians to win the doubles title at the Singapore Open. In fact, Satwik and Chirag's last title victory before the Singapore Open was here in the Thailand Open in 2024. Since then, they had reached finals four times but finished runners-up on each occasion before finally breaking the drought in Singapore.

The other Indian men's doubles pair of MR Arjun and Hariharan Amsakarunan will take on another Malaysian pair of Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub Azriyn and Tan Wee Kiong. If both the Indian pairs win, they will face each other in the second round. In women's singles, PV Sindhu, who exited in the quarterfinals in Singapore, will open her campaign against Busanan Ongbamrungphan of Thailand. If she progresses to the next round, the double Olympic medallist might face nemesis and top seed An Se Young of Korea, against whom she had lost in the quarterfinals of the Singapore Open.
