Saina Nehwal: India’s Super Shuttler

    In India other then Cricket; performances’ and achievements in other sports are welcome with cool responses by citizens, corporate and media, despite respective sportspersons amazing and sensational play during the tournaments, sports which are victim of such a bias and poor response in recent past are –

• Abhinav Bhindra - First ever Indian gold medalist, in the individual category of Olympiad, who won gold medal in the Beijing Olympics.
• Vijender Singh – Bronze medalist in Beijing Olympics and now number one boxer in the world ranking of AIBA in 75 kilograms category.
• Vishwanathan Anand – World chess champion.
• Saina Nehwal – First Indian woman to rank in top five seeds of BWF, improving her ranking with time, now at present number three woman player of BWF.

   all the above individual reaches at this level with their personnel efforts like coaching and financial cost, but despite negligence, it’s really matter of proud for every Indian that their sportspersons have taken country and national flag to flutter high, in the countries and sports where Indians had no presence.
Indian Shuttler. Saina Nehwal, in three consecutive weeks won three prestigious title of Badminton –

• Indian Open, Chennai
• Singapore Open, Singapore
• Indonesia Open Super Series Badminton Tournaments

When she won Singapore open, her ranking improve from number five to number three place, Saina is positive and sure that the way she is playing top ranking is not out of her reach and it is matter of time now. In the final of Indonesia open super series Badminton tournament she beats Japanese Syaka Sato 21-19, 13-21, 21-11 to lift the trophy. This is Saina third super series victory -

• Indonesia open super series badminton tournament 2009
• Singapore open 2010
• Indonesia open super series Badminton tournament -2010

With the victory in Indonesia open super series badminton tournament,2010 its her third straight victory in as many weeks time. As per Saina’s words, She had seen Syaka Sato playing in the year 2008, because then I had played with her, but today her playing style was different that was the reason her some strokes were creating problem for her to play but as I was confident that I will win, it is believe that with this performance in the tournament of Indonesia open super series, her ranking is going to improve further, it was confirm by Saina also that with every game ranking is keep on changing and as I am in the form and winning tournaments I am sure soon it will change to number one, but she also declared that right now her focus is on to forthcoming tournaments of World Championship and Commonwealth Games.
