Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal got a shot in the arm ahead of next
month's Olympics as she lifted the Thailand Open Grand Prix badminton
gold title after rallying to beat Thailand's Ratchanok Inthanon in the
final of the event in Bangkok on June 10.
The 22-year-old World No. 5 Indian beat Inthanon 19-21, 21-15, 21-10 at
the CU Sport Complex in Bangkok for her second title of the year after
the Swiss Open win in March.
The win will come as a massive boost to Saina's confidence ahead of the Olympics in July-August.
The top-seeded Indian was scratchy to start with but drew from her
experience and superb manoeuvring at the net to beat her second-seeded
17-year-old rival.
