Why are Setiawan and Ahsan known as the Daddies?
Setiawan and Ahsan are in the twilight of their careers. 37-year-old Setiawan, a father of three, said there's not too much to decipher surrounding their nickname. "It's because both of us have families, and so we were named 'The Daddies'," Hendra Setiawan said last year.
34-year old Ahsan, a father of two, said their nickname reflects their time and experience out on court. The duo have won three world titles, in 2013, 2015 and most recently in 2019.

Satwik-Chirag look to script history...but have a daddy-sized obstacle
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have qualified for a final after 26 months. Their last outing at a final was at the 2019 French Open - an occasion where they went down fighting against the Minions - Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sukamuljo. Making a great comeback and enjoying a good form now, the Tokyo-returned World No. 10 pair and second seeds at the India Open will be locking horns with the veterans of the game - the Daddies from Indonesia - Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan.
The Indonesians are undoubtedly the top seeds at the tournament and therefore, will pose a very strong and difficult challenge for Satwik-Chirag.
