Chalo, Nehwal is looking decent. She's my numero uno here. Hoping she keeps chipping away. Onto the quarters. 👌🏻

Srikanth's routine win. Sindhu's inspiring comeback. Saina's masterclass.

Give it up for India's 3 quarterfinalists at #2017BWC 🙌

.@NSaina reaches the QF of the WC for the 7th successive time. Unfair to measure her achievement in numbers as it means much more than that.

I feel Saina can even take the championship, her movement was so good, sent every shuttle back. The cross court drops & smashes were so good
