Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will be taking on South Korea’s Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae for their finals clash at the China Masters. As the two pairs gear up for battle, here is everything you need to know about their upcoming match.
Going into the summit clash, both Rankireddy and Shetty have displayed impeccable form in Shenzhen. The duo are yet to drop a game in the event, having wrapped up all their matches under 45 minutes.
The duo’s most impressive performance so far came in the semifinals, where they took on Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik. The Indians have consistently struggled against their Malaysian rivals in the past, but this time around they ousted the World No.2 pair 21-17, 21-14 to establish their dominance going into the finals.
On the other hand, Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae have had a bumpy ride at the China Masters so far. The World No.1 pair has often looked on the verge of an upset at the Super 750 and they required three-game long battles to make it past their first few matches. However, the Koreans did seem to have hit their stride in the semis, where they beat Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri 21-13, 21-17.

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have clashed swords with Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae only once in their careers so far. The two pairs played against each other earlier this year in the semifinals of the 2025 Malaysia Open.
In that battle, it was the South Koreans who emerged victorious in a dominant fashion, claiming a 21-10, 21-15 win in 40 minutes.
This time around, Kim and Seo will be eager to repeat this feat, but Rankireddy and Shetty will have the advantage of well-rested bodies and the hunger for revenge.
