India’s top-seeded men’s doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will face Malaysia’s Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin in a blockbuster Thailand Open 2026 semifinal clash in Bangkok on Saturday.

The Malaysian pair have also enjoyed a strong run in Bangkok, battling through tough contests to reach the last four. Goh and Izzuddin survived a scare in the quarterfinals against Scotland’s Christopher and Matthew Grimley, showing resilience under pressure to book their semifinal spot.
