Saina Nehwal, whom our media has projected as the best woman's badminton player currently,has failed to live upto her reputations.First in the All England,then in the Indian Open,and now in the Thai Open she has lost to players ranked much below her or unranked players.Both in the Indian Open,and in the Thai Open, no Chinese players participated and it was expected that Saina will have a cake walk victory,instead she crashed out @ the quarter final stages. It is noticed that from the time she won the bronze in the London Olympics 2012(fully by default as her opponent had to withdraw due to an injury,after winning the first game and leading in the second), and on return was given lots of cash prizes and others,her motivation to do better has declined, as was the case with Bindra our only individual gold winner in Olympics. Saina is not doing justice to her World No 2 ranking. Seems success has gone to her head.

please don't blame and try to encourage. non-cricketers are doing much more better than cricketers with available facilities.

You forgot - she's coming out of an serious injury. Please try to be patient. She will definitely come back.
