Table Tennis: G.Sathiyan, Anthony Amalraj win bronze at World Tour Platinum Australian Open

In Table Tennis, the Indian pair of G. Sathiyan and Anthony Amalraj won the bronze at the World Tour Platinum Australian Open after they went down 12-14, 9-11, 8-11 to top seed Korean pair of Jeoung Youngsik and Lee Sangsu in Geelong near Melbourne yesterday. 

This was India's first ever medal in the Australian Open, which is a Platinum event.

The Korean pair could not be pinned



down despite being extended in the first game. But credit must be given to the Indian duo who fought really well before bowing out in the semifinal. 

However, Sathiyan-Amalraj can take pride in the fact that they had beaten the other Korean pair in the fray, Jang Woojin and Lim Jonghoon, in the quarterfinal. The Indian pair won 5-11, 11-6, 14-12, 11-8.
