Saina Nehwal: Saina Nehwal regrets not choosing tennis over badminton | Delhi News

New Delhi: Trailblazing Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal feels she would have perhaps excelled more as a sportsperson if she had picked a tennis racquet instead of playing badminton. Nehwal has an impressive resume as a badminton player. Not only she became the first Indian woman shuttler to be ranked No. 1 in the world, she was the first woman athlete from the country to win an Olympic medal.“I feel that it would have been good if my parents had put me in tennis,” Saina said during her “Her Story–My Story” talk at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. “There is more money and I had more strength I think. I could have done better in tennis than badminton.” PTI
