It was a fantastic feeling to win three important tournaments in the space of three weeks. It was very strenuous and I had to focus really hard. But my sentimental favourite was winning the Indian Open in my home town, Hyderabad. To give that medal and the badminton racquet that has been a part of the same set I have been using for three years to The Foundation is a matter of great joy for me. Keep up the good work!

This is no ordinary badminton racquet donated by Saina. It’s the racquet that’s part of the set with which she’s won everything with from the time she reached the quarter-finals of the Beijing Olympics in 2008 to the astonishing three wins in a row in June, 2010 – the Indian open, Singapore Super Series and the Indonesian Super Series. Since then Saina has reached world no. 2 in the rankings. It is India’s first and only chance to own these most treasured pieces from a player tipped to be the future world no.1. We have to confess being totally overwhelmed by this champion’s generosity. She went way beyond the norm – just like her performance on the badminton court.
