Saina confident ahead of China Open

Since 2008, Saina has won at least one title in the season but this year the 23-year-old Indian has played 35 matches, out of which she won 24 and lost 11 of them.
Her indifferent form saw her fail to defend her title at Switzerland, Thailand and Denmark and it reflected on her ranking too as she slipped to number seven late last month.
However, Saina remains confident ahead of the event and said with a bit of luck she can claim her first title soon. ‘I have been training hard for the last three weeks. There is nothing wrong with my game and I am confident of a good show in China. This is the last Premier event of the year and I want to do well,’ Saina said.
Saina will have her task cut out as she will probably face defending champion and top seed Li Xuerei of China if she manages to reach the quarterfinals.
