Satwiksairaj and Chirag missed out on a second World Championships medal after suffering a shocking loss to Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark in the men’s doubles quarter-finals on Friday. The World No. 2 Indian pair, which had claimed a maiden bronze in the last edition, couldn’t produce an attacking game and went down 18-12, 19-21 to the 11th seeded Danish pair. “I think the execution was wrong, we played bad but still we were close. We were not comfortable in the match still we were 21-18 21-19, that is champion mentality,” Satwik said after the match.
