Paddler Sathiyan Alleges Unfair Umpiring At WTT Contender Lagos, Says Robbed Of A Win
Sir Molade Okoya Thomas Indoor: India's former National Champion Sathiyan Gnanasekaran on Friday took to social media to highlight "unfair umpiring" during his 2-3 defeat to French player Thibault Poret in men's singles Round of 16 stage at the WTT Contender Lagos 2024 here on Friday.
Sathiyan, ranked 71st in the WTT World Rankings, made a comeback from two sets down and was leading 2-0 in the fifth and final set when he claimed the umpire made some "unfair" calls that cost him the match. Sathiyan lost to the 111th-ranked Poret 8-11, 8=11, 11-4, 11-5, 6-11 at the Sir Molade Okoya Thomas Indoor Sports Hall in Lagos, Nigeria.
In his post on Instagram headlined, "Unfair umpiring at its worst here in Lagos", Sathiyan said the "unfair umpiring" broke his rhythm and left him disappointed and dispirited.
