Sharath and Sathiyan confident of qualifying for Tokyo Olympics in singles - Sportstar

The Hindu  

With two crucial International table tennis tournaments clashing with each other, India’s top paddler Sharath Kamal has spoken to Table Tennis Federation of India and asked for clarification. Meanwhile, after a disastrous performance in the World team table tennis championships in Gondomar where India failed to qualify, the Indian players would be keen to make amends in singles and make it to Tokyo Olympics through the Asian qualification event. India’s top two players, Sharath Kamal and G. Sathiyan, ranked 32 and 37 in the world, being the highest-ranked paddlers in the field, are hoping to reach the final given the quality and rankings of those in the fray. With such a prospect, Sharath and Sathiyan believe they don’t have to play in the World singles qualification tournament in Doha from March 16 to 19.
