Indian badminton stars Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty advanced to their second championship match this season at the China Masters 2025. The eighth-seeded duo defeated second-seeded Malaysians Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik with scores of 21-17 and 21-14 during Saturday's semifinal at Shenzhen Arena. Their victory required 41 minutes to complete against the higher-ranked opponents.

The world's fourth-ranked pair will compete against either the Korean top seeds, Won Ho Kim and Seung Jae Seo, or the Indonesian players Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri. Rankireddy and Shetty previously reached the Hong Kong Open 2025 final last week before falling short of victory. They eliminated Chinese competitors Ren Xiang Yu and Xie Haonan during quarterfinal action with identical 21-14 game scores. Meanwhile, P.V. Sindhu suffered elimination when Korean top seed An Se Young prevailed 21-14 and 21-13 during Friday's quarterfinal round of this $1,250,000 tournament.
