New Delhi: Saina Nehwal on Wednesday said the setbacks of an injury-marred 2013 are now firmly behind her.
I was a little disappointed. Obviously, everyone gets disappointed when you play at such high level and suddenly you see yourself not doing so well. I think there were a lot of factors. There was a toe fracture, which I never expected would happen at such a time, She said.
But, after the Super Series finals, I thought maybe I should take a break and not really hurry up. Because, this year is going to be very tough with the Asian Games, Commonwealth Games are coming up, Saniya said.
So, Gopi sir (national coach P Gopichand) and I decided that I better skip the Korea Open and take a break for four weeks and come back strong for Malaysia and India Open. I think the time of four weeks really helped us to prepare for these two tournaments, Saniya also said.
Saina said her results will depend a lot on her fitness in the months to come. I got lot of time (during the four weeks) to work on my movements and strokes. I was thinking that I would do well.
