Rankireddy and Shetty win China Masters title

Overview

Indian men’s doubles badminton pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty won the China Masters Super 750 title in Shenzhen on September 6, 2026. After losing the first game 11-21 to China’s He Ji Ting and Ren Xiang Yu, the world No. 5 duo won the subsequent games 21-13 and 21-17 in a final that lasted 70 minutes.

This victory marks the pair’s first China Masters crown following runner-up finishes in 2023 and 2025. It is their second title of the 2026 season, following a win at the Singapore Open, and represents their 10th career BWF World Tour win.

The win is considered a significant confidence boost for the duo ahead of the upcoming Asian Games in Japan, where they aim to defend their men's doubles gold medal. Satwik noted that the tournament has historically been a positive event for them following injury recoveries.
