New Delhi, March 18
Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal touched a new high today as she zoomed into the top-five of the world rankings at a career-best fifth spot following her stupendous show in the All England Badminton Championships earlier this month.
Saina, whose previous best on the chart was the sixth spot she attained last year, surprised one and all by becoming the first Indian woman to reach the semifinals of the prestigious All England Super Series Championships.
Saina lost to Tine Rasmussen of the Netherlands in the semifinals of the event. Riding on her fantastic show, the Indian gained a couple of spots in the latest list with 58516.7646 points in her kitty.
