It is good to see Saina fit and playing with a lot of conviction at the start of the year. Here's hoping the semi-final in Malaysia and the title in Indonesia will boost her confidence a lot.
Hopefully this is the start of another good season for Indian badminton!
Saina Nehwal has been declared the winner. She reached the final last year and lost to World No. 1 Tai Tzu Ying. This year she is the champion, albeit in the most unforeseen circumstances.
Let's just hope it was not too bad. The season has just begun and no player would like to get injured.
Marin came back from injuries and inconsistency in the second half of last year. She won the World Championships for the third time last year and continued that form by winning titles in Japan and China.
Even this season, she started with a bang by reaching back-to-back finals in Malaysia and Indonesia.
The disappointment on Marin's face was understandable.
