Painful to watch @NSaina like this. Seems to be a constant for her more often than not. She just doesn't have the legs anymore. #AllEnglandSuper1000

She had her chances in the second game @NSaina but couldn’t close it. Well played Tai.Was a tough match to start and the upset wasn’t to be.

Tai was always supposed to be a very tough hurdle. But considering their last clash, Saina Nehwal did much better today. The movement looked a lot better and she was able to put pressure on her knees to pick up those low shots. Overall, encouraging display imo!

It all got over in 37 minutes as Saina looked completely out of rythm. Tai Tzu's eight straight victory against Saina.

Tai Tsu too good for Saina.why lndian players are unable to read Tai Tsu's deceptive strokes after playing her so many times

What do you do when TTY is playing like that? Saina fought hard but her fighting qualities can only go so far against a player of Tai Tzu Ying's abilities. Need much more than that. 8 defeats on the trot against the Taiwanese.

And just as I expected, her slowness on the court hurts her again. Saina out of the #AllEngland after losing to top seed Tai Tzu Ying in the opening round.

Saina needs to find a way to break the Tai jinx, a 9th consecutive win over the Indian for Tai...flawless from the World no 1 #YAE18
