Things are looking bright for G. Sathiyan. Moving with the current, this hardworking engineer from Chennai is keen to build on the reputation of being the first Indian to breach the top-25 rankings bracket.
With precisely 51 weeks left for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, the 24th-ranked is not only looking to grab a place in the singles draw of 64, but also ready to make a serious bid, with Archana Kamath, for a slot in the 16pair draw in mixed doubles.
Since there is a cap of one pair per country, Sathiyan and Archana will be competing with the reigning Asian Games bronze medallists Sharath Kamal and Manika Batra.
