    it wasn't luck GCW, it was her mental strength IMO. I'd say SN prolly has the best mental strength of all the current pros out there now.

    Yes, mentally strong is one of the factor,...but she has no pressure at all, she just went all out and try to beat someone gretaer than her......thats why she was so free minded and played wonderfully in that match.....:p:p

    It was a 'Nothing to lose' situation....she will face some of this pressure when every one is expecting her to win...in future...:D:D

    India is yet to go a looooonnnnnnggggg way in badminton scene to be a super power.
    True, the game is now eveloving much interest in cities. And this is not due to Saina's victory, but because people have started realising sports are as important as academics in life.
    Moreover, sportsmen get sponsors much easily these days compared to a decade.

    Saina Nehwal vs. Wang Lin..on equal footing..

    ..it was really a 50-50 match, despite Wang Lin's higher ranking. Wang Lin also beat Saina, the week before @ the S'pore Open, in 3 games. Again, as mentioned, it was a battle of the last 2 World Junior WS Champions. So, they're basically even steven.
    Next encounter between the 2 should be interesting and this rivalry could go on for the next several yrs..maybe we'll even throw in suetyan's heroine, Wang Yihan, in the mix as well..;):cool:
