Singapore Badminton Open 2026: Satwik-Chirag win first BWF World Tour title in two years

India’s Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty won the men’s doubles title at the Singapore Badminton Open 2026 on Sunday to finally end their two-year-long title drought on the BWF World Tour.

Satwik-Chirag, currently fourth in the men’s doubles badminton rankings, beat the world No. 3 Indonesian pair of Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri by an 18-21, 21-17, 21-16 scoreline in the final, which lasted 73 minutes.

This was Satwik and Chirag’s first title on Tour since the 2024 Thailand Open, which was also held in May two years back.

The Indian badminton players, who fell short in three finals in the last couple of years, including at the Thailand Open earlier this month, also became the first doubles team from the country to win the Singapore Open.
