In other update from #UberCup Grp D which India is part of. South Korea has blanked USA 5-0 without playing An SeYoung

Next up are the BROTHERS as they call themselves Chirag and Satwik are surely stars of the Indian men Doubles category. They are ranked 9th in the world with a career high of 7th Chirag with a bandana on forehead sure looks like a rockstar
They play Jansen who had a CH of 22 and Seidel who has a career high of 13 albeit with different partners. This should be a good match ๐.
Mark Lamsfuss, who during the European Championships won MD and XD gold, is sitting out of this
