He further added, "We want to continue with the same momentum next week at the Japan Open so we’ll go back now, rest and focus again. Thank you for all the support". 

Chirag was equally happy following their third Super 500 title victory. Even though, as per him, their performance in the finals didn't start off as smoothly as they had hoped, he expressed that he was "happy that we could win that second game and keep the momentum until the very end and yes, extremely happy that we could win the consecutive titles after the Indonesia Open."
