With my back condition, I didn't know how it would be. But it's really amazing how we are playing now,' Chirag said. Satwik was satisfied for avenging the India Open loss. 'We have played them many times. They took a break, came back and started playing well. At the India Open, it was a close set in the first game and we were not able to capitalise,' he said. 'We were well prepared here, focusing more on our strategy than our opponents. We wanted to play our 'A' game and see what they would come up with. We focused on preparing for every point and supporting each other. ' The unseeded Indians will face third seeds Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the semifinals. The Malaysians enjoy a 9-3 win-loss record and had defeated Satwik-Chirag at the Paris Olympics.
