Satwik-Chirag return to World Tour Finals after 4 years
The Indian men's doubles pair took part in the 2021 edition of the Season Finale, but that was cut short for them after the first group match because of a knee injury to Satwik. This resulted in their exit as they had to give a walkover in the other two group matches, and their result was counted as null, which makes this tournament their first official match on the World Tour.
