He created the first upset when he defeated world number two, Muljadi of Indonesia, in straight games (15-6,15-7). And then, pitted against Rudy Hartono, Satish lost an extended game at 13-18. But he was back with his unplayable serves in the second game which he won 15-11. In the decider, Satish was on the verge of creating one of the biggest upsets when he had a matchpoint against Rudy. But the eight-time world champion, fought back to take the third game at 18-17, to clinch the trophy. The upsets made the badminton pundits look up. The Shuttle King, as Satish was nicknamed, was flown to London for a demonstration of his spin service. The committee found nothing wrong in his service. Satish who
attended a seminar on coaching at Bangkok, is also on the national panel of coaches. He coached and accompanied the Indian team for the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and the Asiad. He played for the nation in the ninth Commonwealth Games, the Thomas Cup and the Asian Games. |
