Actually, I am a very strong player. Mentally very tough. I just don't give up very easily. I make my opponent work very hard. - Saina Nehwal

I have put in so much of hard work all these years, and to see those years of hard work finally bearing fruit now as me being No. 1, is very special. But with this the responsibilities are many fold as expectations keep on rising. However, I have never shied away from giving my best and I will continue to do so in the coming years.

When I see myself moving on the court, I can see that there is a little bit of a struggle and when things will open up automatically, the results will come.

I am set to give my best. Yes, to win a medal for India in the Olympics is my dream. But I will go step by step; I will give my hundred percent and leave the rest to God.
