Common wealth games are played among the nations which were once upon a time under the british rule.. Last time, she won it beating LCW's wife. Her gold medal was very much needed for India to get placed "second" after Australia in the medals' tally pushing England to third. That gave her fame all over india instantly.
I know this story. I've told by a Chinese badminton fan who's wild about collect all kind of data of the top badminton players.
Easy loss to LXR in SSF. Her motivations aside, maybe her training methods and coaching has hit a plateau. She should use a different coach to have a fresh perspective to the game.
How about going back to the same formula as before the Olympics, same coach, same discipline and much less of the TV/magazine/photoshoots/adverts etc. That might work
Only way for her to come back to "normal"(i would say, because i know this kind of play is not her usual thing) is give a break to badminton court for a while and come back stronger. Her techniques are also not good nowadays.
What do you expect after losing to MM, a player she could have disposed of when she was in form. Much worse is going to follow if she does not follow her old routine. The main reason being she haven't been focusing on badminton after Olympic.
I've told you many times that she should improve her forehand skills. Remember how did you response me last year? I mean, even I had already found one of her weakness, then what about other professional players and coaches? Also, one can never hope to get an easy point from only a few rallies when up against players like LXR or MM. if she was still reluctant to play long rallies, she would be easily defeated by BYJ , who is also a defensive player like MM, in her third match in SSF.
who cares? I never watched saina's match against li xuerui. Today also , I never gonna watch. Only because of her, I registered in this forum. Already I have reduced my involvement by 50 %. Now, I will still wanna reduce it as she is in "great" form and shows excellent results. Bye
although you said "bye", I'll still bother you for the last time . because I'm very very disappointed! When a player need supports the most, you just go away. I'd to say, you are disqualified to be a fan, only a fan of Saina's success! I'm a chinese, but I still want to see more and more great players around the world to challenge China's dominance in WS and WD, that's the only way to improve this sports. And Saina is one of my favorite players and my ammunition , I still have faith in her. btw, according to statistics, she will return next year! [h=1][/h]
Don't be judgemental. I am a fan of badminton as a whole . If the player plays well, i will support him/her. If not, just leave it and go ahead. I never praise the players for their inconsistencies.
Small correction you need to add in your sentence. " I don't think you are a badminton player's fan after all . Player never gonna be there forever but badminton will ".
It seems like people are so much intense in finding meaning in my words about saina than saina's own form. Lol. Let's stop here itself. I want saina to give a break from this badminton arena and come back after proper training. End of discussion..
Next year Saina has a realistic chance to defend her title at the CWG. The only players she should be wary about her are, her compatriot PV Sindhu, Gu Juan and home player Kirsti Gilmore.
I don't think Sania can take a break, she got lot of sponsors obligation to attend competitions as well as certain event. She need a change for sure, maybe changes coaches ?
Is not that GOPI is a bad coach or other coaches are better than him but players need different method when they reach certain stages. Lee chong wei has Morton frost, Indra gunawan, Li Mao, miss bun, Teh sue bock... Lin dan has tang xi uh, xia xu ante and few other, also Ji Xenophon i think if India can get Li Mao now, it will do India men and women singles marvellous things....
