Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have defeated Kang Minhyuk and Seo Seungjae in four of their last six meetings, including their most recent one last week at the semifinal of the Malaysia Open 2024. The semifinal of the Malaysia Open 2024 witnessed the Indian pair get the better of Kang and Seo in a nail-biting battle, with the final score being 21-18, 22-20.
While the last meeting might have gone in favor of the Indians, Kang and Seo have been in incredible form. With their semifinal victory yesterday, the Korean pair have entered their second final in three tournaments. Notably, it was their third consecutive semi-final. Riding high on their win at the prestigious BWF World Tour Finals 2023, the World No. 3 pair will be looking for their first title in 2024.
The duo from Korea also won the BWF World Championships last year, adding another title to their already impressive collection.
Kang Minhyuk and Seo Seungjae have had a fabulous tournament so far. No pair has been able to challenge the Korean pair, and the duo has entered the final without dropping a single set.
Satwik and Chirag, who had an incredible 2023, have also been in the form of their lives. With their win yesterday, they reached their third consecutive final, and the Indian pair will also be looking to win their first title of the new season.
The final is expected to be a thrilling affair, and with both pairs in great form, it will be very difficult to predict who will take the coveted title. However, the recent head-to-head battle and the home support could help the Indian pair snatch victory.
