Mental Tactics Behind India's Men’s Doubles Success

Satwik Sai Ranjan and Chirag Shetty shared that any display of disappointment on the court can break their coordination, so they train themselves to think only about the next point. After a loss, they avoid dwelling on the match outcome and quickly turn their attention to the next game. The pair recalled sleepless nights before the previous Asian Games final, where both stayed awake until the early hours, yet used that intensity as motivation. Their recent triumph over China’s He Ji‑Ting and Ren Jiang – winning 11‑21, 21‑13, 21‑17 – marked their 10th World Tour title and reinforced their world No. 5 ranking.
