India’s star men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty produced a tactically astute performance to overcome Malaysia’s Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub and Tan Wee Kiong in three games to book their third China Masters final here on Saturday.

World No. 5 Satwik and Chirag, who finished runners-up at the 2023 and 2025 editions, recovered from a second-game lapse to prevail 21-15, 18-21, 21-11 over the World No. 29 Malaysians.
