New Delhi: After breaking into the top five of world rankings, ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal said that it’s a dream come true for her.
"It's been a great one year. I am really happy. It's with the support of my coach and family. My next target is to be in top 3."
"For me now is to stay focussed and concentrate on sports and work hard. I am happy with the support of the government and the sponsors. But yes, many talented people do not get support at right time," she added.
"Everything is happening so fast in my profession. It's like a dream come true. I still have a long way to go," she further said about her future plan.
“I am feeling good, fresh and raring to go,” she said.
Saina also said that this year she would be concentrating more on training and playing less tournaments to maintain her fitness.
“I would train more and play less this year to keep myself injury free.”
Born in the city of Hisar in Haryana, Saina is training under former All England champion Pullela Gopichand at his academy in Hyderabad.
