G. Sathiyan, who had booked a World Cup berth with a stunning win over World No. 14 Chun Ting Wong of Hong Kong on Saturday, couldn’t reproduce his best. The Indian lost to the 17-year-old Lin Yun-Ju of Chinese Taipei 11-4, 11-8, 11-8, 14-12 in the match for 5-6 spots.
Lin, ranked World No. 21, proved too good for the 26-year-old Indian.
