Satwik-Chirag concede the opening game

Not what the former world No 1 pair would have hoped for. Satwik-Chirag fall behind right after the mid-game interval and trail 13-18.

They do try to mount a comeback to reduce the deficit to two points at 17-19, but Chia-Soh win two consecutive points to shut the door and pocket the opening game 21-17.

Right then, pressure on for Satwik-Chirag. They need to win the second game anyhow to stay in contention for the semi-finals!
