Tokyo Olympics: Badminton LIVE Day 3 — Satwik/Chirag targets The Minions — Updates, scores, results, blog
Ladies and gents, it is TIME!!!
And, FINALLY! The players have arrived on court and we are good to start soon!!
Just a few minutes away now!
We are impatiently waiting for the Mixed Doubles clash between Hong Kong and Germany to conclude here at the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza.
The Mixed Doubles match has turned out to be a nail-biter as well and is anticipatory of the upcoming clash on this court!! Almost at the finish line here.
Expect a thriller here!
Although The Minions boast of a 8-NIL lead in the head to head, the scores reveal a different picture as Satwik-Chirag have offered stiff competition always to the Indonesian duo!
In fact, the Indian pair managed to get a game off Gideon/Sukamuljo at the 2018 Asian Games, as well!
Satwik-Chirag - the dark horses of Tokyo?
However, Satwik-Chirag looked strong in their debut match on Day 1 of the Tokyo Olympics as they contested a thriller to win against the World No. 3 pair of Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin, causing a shock upset!
There is no underestimating this young duo!
It's no strange fact that the Minions from Indonesia - Kevin Sukamuljo and Marcus Gideon are the MOST formidable pair on the badminton circuit right now!
The World No. 10 pair of Satwik-Chirag will have a tough job on their plate as they head into the match!
