Badminton | Cried after loss in Worlds: Satwik

‘I felt a lot more positive after watching Lakshya and Srikanth play at the championships’
India’s premier doubles shuttler R. Satwiksairaj, fresh from his title-triumph partnering Chirag Shetty in the India Open last Sunday, said that they were glad to be back on track.
The 21-year-old Satwik, now taking a break staying with his parents in his hometown Amalapuram (Andhra Pradesh), said they were desperate to win a title after a disappointing 2021.
“Honestly, we were at our best in terms of training, mental preparations three months before the 2020 Tokyo Games. Then came the setbacks in the Olympics and the World championships. You won’t believe me. I was crying for more than one hour after the loss in the Worlds,” the champion doubles specialist informed The Hindu.
