Saina wins Chinese Taipei Grand Prix
Posted by Z on September 14th, 2008
The incredible run of Indian sports in recent months continues. The reigning princess of Indian Badminton Saina Nehwal has just won the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix event, a victory that will bring her closer to a top ten ranking (last week she was ranked 14). This is Saina’s second grand prix triumph after her victory at the Philippines Open in 2006 and will be a much needed boost to her confidence as she goes a medal in the London Olympics in 2012.
Saina who entered the national consciousness with her incredible run to the quarterfinals in the recent Beijing Olympic games is currently coached by former All-England champion Pullela Gopichand. Saina had come really close to a medal at Beijing as she lost in a thrilling encounter in the quarterfinals.
What is going to be interesting to see over the coming year is whether the private sector picks Saina as a brand ambassador for any brands. Incidentally, like Abhinav Bindra, Saina is also sponsored by the Mittal Champions Trust.
