According to Shetty, their friendship off the court plays a significant role in their success. “On the court, we play an attacking game, but off the court, we are good friends, and that helps us both,” he said.
Rankireddy also emphasized the importance of trust between them. “At crucial times, I trust him and he trusts me. I know that he has my back, and I have his. This gives us peace of mind. If Chirag serves perfectly, I have confidence that we’ll catch it. And if the shuttle comes to me, I’ll do my duty.”

Ohori Surprised by Tai’s Speed
In the world of badminton, Aya Ohori stands out as one of the few players who have been able to defeat Tai Tzu Ying in the past year. She has beaten Tai in the Asian Games quarterfinals and came close to repeating that feat at the last French Open.
Heading into their quarterfinal match, Ohori was hopeful of replicating her past success. However, Tai proved to be too strong and swiftly took control of the match, winning 21-17 21-10.
Commenting on the match, Ohori acknowledged that Tai’s skills have always been superior to hers. She had previously been able to compete with her in terms of speed, but this time, Tai was playing at an even higher speed. Ohori felt that she could only defeat Tai through physicality or speed, but Tai outperformed her in both areas. Despite having her chances at 17-all in the first game, Ohori’s legs seemed to give up on her.
