Badminton, French Open Super 750, as it happened: Satwik-Chirag win their first title of the season

That’s it for The Field’s coverage of the 2024 French Open Super 750

After three successive runner-up finishes, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have finally broken the rut. They are the 2024 French Open Super 750 men’s doubles champions, reclaiming their title from 2022.

The Indians were expected to be the favourites against world No 16 pair of Lee Jhe Huei and Yang Po Hsuan and they displayed exactly why. Rankireddy and Shetty never looked in any trouble throughout the tournament and clinched the title without dropping a game.

They bulldozed their way through in almost all the matches and they found ways to win points in crucial junctures in contests where they were tested. In the end, they won the title clash 21-11, 21-17 in 37 minutes – the fastest final of the day.

More importantly, Rankireddy and Shetty have won the title at the Adidas Arena – the same venue where the 2024 Paris Olympics will be played a few months later. Will the world No 1 pair be able to replicate the same heroics then?

Here’s a look at all the winners at the 2024 French Open Super 750
