Satwik-Chirag Boosting Doubles Tennis in India
Developing
In Short: Satwik-Chirag's consistent performances in top tournaments are helping doubles tennis gain popularity in India, according to reports.
The Indian Express reports that Satwik-Chirag are acquiring a loyal fanbase by consistently contesting top titles in major tournaments like the Singapore Open and China Masters, making doubles tennis more popular in India.
Satwik encouraged Indians to watch their matches and recognize their special contribution to the sport, noting that India had little to boast about in doubles 20 years ago.
What's still developing
- Satwik had asked Indians to watch them play, and acknowledge that they were doing something special — which was remarkable for a country that worshipped the singles stars, but had very little 20 years ago to boast of in terms of doubles.
- Satwik-Chirag proved they can go toe to toe with those big names, and even reach the World No.
