@@bimkivi I think the question here is spending money on infrastructure and fostering a suitable environment. You can't win medals if you haven't practiced for 10 years.

[@t.huto38]

To think that he won some sets against Ma Long,Fan Zhendong,Simon Gauzy and Timo Boll huge respect

[@sbs5408]

I have been watching Indian TT since 40 years. I have never seen an Indian player like Sathiyan. He is a master of speed game. The only way he can be subdued is by playing a slow game. But invariably he increases the speed and plays amazing rallies. Hats Off!!

[@ascended8174]

The counter-drive on him is absolutely insane, the control of the game flow and his speed are all really good too. No doubt that he's innately talented

[@TTL-oe5yz]

He earned at least one game from FZD. This is enough to introduce him.

[@guillaumedebay2178]

Amazing guy, taking the ball very early and using a lot more angles than most of table tennis players do. Is it new TT generation?

[@jrk1666]

the older generation of chinese penholders used to do this , more like a revival of the style

[@fiatakarudin1239]

It's not new generation style, but that is the real TT plays, as Jun Raphael Kariya said, classic player used to play that way 😁

True that. Most players want to play like chinese players. Heres one player who has his own style. I dont know what it will take to be in the big league.

I think India could be a table tennis power house in around 20 years. The sport is pretty popular (and getting more popular), and they have a massive population just like China.

[@djobokuwali4316]

Always have to root for the Indian player. So underrepresented in international sports. Untapped talent.

He is amazing bro.. I really enjoyed watching him. He will be extremely tough competitor for top ranking players if bollywood doesn't make film on him and put this guy on sky and he will be done. Best wishes for this guy 🇵🇰

[@CalvinAytch]

Great video, most promising Indian player since Achanta Sharath Kamal

[@PriyanshuTomar95]

I wonder why everyone is talking about only his one set wins against ma long or FZD but no one is talking about his clean sweep victory against Harimoto last year. He needs to step up his mental game. He takes pressure easily.

[@BewdeKiPaathshaala]

He's definitely our big hope. He needs to maintain his composure and not let anxiety overpower him. He lost both his matches in the Olympics Team qualifier which was a big setback for our nation as we couldn't qualify. If he's fit n healthy, and mentally strong then he has a shot at the bronze.
