India’s G. Sathiyan defeated top seed Ryoichi Yoshiyama of Japan 11-4, 11-6, 12-10 in the final to win the men’s singles title at World Table Tennis Feeder in Vientiane, Laos, on Friday.
This was Sathiyan’s second Feeder title and fifth senior crown overall.
“To beat the top seed in three straight games is big. It reassures that I am still at the top of my game. The way I played the final showed glimpses of the Sathiyan of old (in 2019),” the second seed said.
The former National champion, ranked 99 in the world, said he plans to play in more Feeder Series and a few Contender and Star Contender events to break into the top 50 in the world by the end of the season.
“I will be playing in Contender and Star Contender tournaments closer to the 2026 Asian Games,” the 32-year-old added.
