The 온라인카지노 duo reached the quarter-finals of the men's doubles division with a 21-19 21-15 win over Danish pair of Rasmus Kjaer and Frederik Soggard.

This is the first tournament of the Satwik-Chirag pair since the Paris Olympics in August this year where the duo's medal dreams were extinguished in the quarter-finals.

In their second round match the Danish duo of Kjaer and Soggard took an early lead of 5-1 but the 온라인카지노s bounced back soon to level scores in the opening game. It was a neck-and-neck battle after that but the 온라인카지노s emerged triumphant to take the opening game 21-19.

The second game saw the 온라인카지노 pair get the better of their Danish opponents early on but after that another close battle was seen. Satwik-Chirag then took the lead in the middle of the second game and never looked back. Ultimately, the match went to the 온라인카지노s 21-19, 21-15.

The challenge in the quarter-finals is set to get tougher for the sixth-seeded 온라인카지노 pairing. Satwik and Chirag will now face the second-seeded Danish combination of Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in the last eight encounter.
