@NSaina march to the semifinals means, she ends @BAI_Media's 36 year wait for an individual medal. In 1982, India had won three individual medals in men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles.

She's the definition of grit and determination and her hunger to perform even after such career threatening injuries just blows my mind!!! She's certainly the queen 🇮🇳

That first game is why Saina Nehwal has been so good for so long. Don't think any other Indian shuttler can adapt on-court as quickly as she does.

Magnificent comeback from @NSaina .Got a feeling she was a bit unnerved by Ratchanok’s high toss at the beginning.But after the break she was solid, made Ratchanok work and capitalised on the errors

Its a tribute to @NSaina strength of lungs and legs that allowed her to stay with Inthanon who made her run around in circles more than once. @asiangames2018 Good luck against TTY!!

How many Indian athletes have been so dominant, consistent over a 10-year period as @NSaina has! Gets the only medal that was missing from her cabinet. Now for a better colour (also, India's first #badminton individual medal in 36 years) #AsianGames2018
