Over the course of 8 icy-cool points, played casually and with not an iota of desperation, without a menacing stare or gnashing teeth or rolled fists or even a sledgehammer smash, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty mentally disintegrated the reigning champions, Korean Seo Seung-jae and Kang Min-hyuk. In becoming the first Indians to reach the Malaysia Open finals sneaki...
