Career
Serasinghe started playing badminton since the age of five, he was born in Galle, Sri Lanka, and moved to Australia when he was 11-years-old. He trains at the National Training Centre in Melbourne, and took out back-to-back Oceania Championships titles with Chau in 2015 and 2016. The 22-year-old also won the 2014 Sydney International Challenge mixed doubles (with Setyana Mapasa), against some of the best players in the world. The Melbournian’s first international experience was at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival where he competed in the men’s doubles with Chau and also took the court in the men’s singles competition.
He made his first Olympic appearance at the 2016 Summer Olympics, competing in the Men's doubles with Matthew Chau. They headed into Rio as the 46th highest ranked pairing in the world. Unfortunately the pair were eliminated in the group stages after losing each of their matches against South Korea, Russia, and Chinese Taipei.
Off the court, Serasinghe studies a Bachelor of Business Information Systems at Monash University.
