That was just way too good. 21-8 21-12 against Yihan

 

Just astonishing play by Saina. She's peaking at the right time

Excited to see Saina and if she wins the tournament that would be a really a great moral booster and after this tournament she would climb to 6th. If she maintains this form, never know top 4 is on the cards till the seeding and maybe a top 4 seeding would be a shot in the arm for her to gain the medal.

There is no chance of top 4. I have done the calculations. There are only 2 grand prix gold tournaments between now and Rio, and no super series. Only if Saina wins Australian open and wins BOTH of them, and Okuhara and Intanon either dont play or do badly, can Saina enter top 4.

 

However, the draw of the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix Gold tournament is already out and Saina is not in it. Not 100% sure but don't think she can enter now. Only way Saina can get to top 4 seeds in Rio is if China pick Shixian over Yihan and Saina reaches world no. 5.

as long as she keeps the form she showed today, I don't even mind if she is unseeded!

That's correct today's match was a treat to watch and was Just outstanding and making Yihan look so much out of place in a court is just awesome. Not a regular sight to see such a case..
