Japan’s Minatsu Mitani and Yeon Ju Bae of South Korea are the other players in Group B besides Saina, who is seeded second, and Xuerui. ‘I have worked hard and prepared well for the tournament. I feel I am ready to challenge in Kuala Lumpur,’ said Saina in a statement. Saina’s first match will be relatively easier as she will face World No.13 Minatsu against whom she has a 3-1 record.
Saina said there won’t be any easy matches. ‘Whatever the draw is, there will be no easy matches in the Superseries finals and I am completely prepared for it. I will take each match as it comes and give my best,’ said Saina.
Though Saina has not won a single tournament this year, she has maintained the No.2 position in the Super Series rankings this season, enabling her to qualify for the Dec 11-15 tournament in Kuala Lumpur.
