      - Sathiyan clinched the men’s singles title at the WTT Feeder Vientiane event held from August 11–15, 2025, in Vientiane, Laos. In the high-octane final, he stunned world No. 95 and top seed Ryoichi Yoshiyama of Japan with a dominant 3–0 victory (11–4, 11–6, 12–10), demonstrating his technical precision and controlling pace.

      - This victory marks Sathiyan’s first singles title since his win at the WTT Feeder Beirut in March 2024, reestablishing his strong form on the singles circuit after a notable period focusing on doubles.

     

Main Point :-   (i) Riding high on recent success, Sathiyan had already secured the men’s doubles crown at the WTT Contender Lagos alongside Akash Pal. This singles win further underscores his versatility and resurgence in both formats.

      (ii) This WTT Feeder win not only boosts Sathiyan’s confidence and ranking points but also signals the rising competitiveness of Indian paddlers on the global stage. His strong form ahead of future WTT Contender and Star Contender events bodes well for his campaign in international table tennis.
