I had my chance and really fought hard. The fourth game was close, and the story could have been different if I had pushed it to 9-9. Yet, I am happy with my performance because after 43 years another Indian had entered the quarterfinals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But he also rued the fact that he missed the second chance to create history. \u201cA historic medal was in the offing. I missed it now. Earlier, Sharath&nbsp;<i>bhaiya<\/i>&nbsp;and I last narrowly in the doubles, especially in the decider,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, Sathiyan suffered a similar fate in the doubles when he and partner Sharath Kamal lost out to Chinese pair of Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan. However, it was extremely exciting for the crowd because Liang and Lin needed the full five games and 45 minutes to end the hopes of Sathiyan and Sharath to win 11-6, 10-12, 11-7, 8-11, 11-9.<span class=\"HOEnZb\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-35082\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Gnanasekaran-Sathiyan.jpg\" alt=\"Gnanasekaran Sathiyan\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; float: left;\" width=\"520\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Gnanasekaran-Sathiyan.jpg 520w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Gnanasekaran-Sathiyan-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Gnanasekaran-Sathiyan-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/>New Delhi:<\/strong> India\u2019s campaign in the 2019 ITTF-ATTU Asian Table Tennis Championships came to an end when G.
