Team Japan’s ultimate defensive duo, Watanabe and Endo, face off against one of the fastest pairs in the world—India’s Shetty and Rankireddy.

The moment unfolds in the second game, deep into deuce.

Watanabe and Endo cannot let the shuttle drop.

Suddenly, a lightning-fast smash tears through the air.

Rankireddy, the Guinness World Record holder for the fastest smash, unleashes a missile clocked at 565 km/h—faster than a bullet train.

They manage to return it with a high drive— But standing in wait is the towering 187cm Shetty.

Yet even that is no match for Watanabe’s unbelievable defensive touch.

Ordinarily, you’d expect a textbook backhand return.

But in this moment, Watanabe twists his entire body 90 degrees, softens the shuttle’s momentum, and creates just enough space for a controlled shot.

Back and forth, neither side giving an inch— Both pairs desperate to avoid giving away a clean smash.

Shetty insists on attacking from above, refusing to lift.

Endo counters with a delicate cross-court return, relying on nothing but wrist finesse.

Then another soft drive—met with an aggressive overhead touch from Endo.

Trying to bait Shetty, they push the rally to the back with a straight return.

Endo goes for a high lob—hoping for a counter opportunity— But Shetty cuts it off at the net.

Still, Watanabe twists his body once more to dig the shuttle out.

The crowd is electrified.

And here’s the moment that turns everything— Watanabe notices both Shetty and Rankireddy are stacked on the right side.

He leaps and fires a cross smash— But Shetty somehow bends both knees and scrambles to meet it.

Half of the Japanese court is now wide open.

Watanabe, off-balance from the smash, is momentarily out of play.

The crowd gasps.

But then—this man moves.

Endo, falling to the ground, gets just enough contact to keep the rally alive.

And just like that, Japan steals the point.
