HYDERABAD, June 19:
Her morale is sky-high after back-to-back titles but ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal today said apart from being confident she would also have to be in “top shape” physically to outwit the formidable Chinese in next month’s Olympics.
Saina won the Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold badminton tournament in Bangkok earlier this month before claiming the Indonesia Open Super Series title in Jakarta last week.
The Indian said the wins could not have come at a better time as they reinstated her hope of winning a medal in the London Games.
“I really needed to prepare hard before the Olympics and the two wins (in Bangkok and Jakarta) are a big boost for me. I am very happy to win the Indonesia Open for the third time,” Nehwal said during a felicitation function organised by the Andhra Pradesh Sports Ministry at the Pullela Gopichand Academy here. (PTI)
