Ace shuttler Saina Nehwal said she is working hard to make a return at the China Super Series Premier, but will do so only after consulting her physio Heath Matthews. "My name is there. My physio feels I can do it, and I'll accordingly decide on playing in the China Super Series Premier. I have two-and-half weeks more to see how well I move in the court and how better I recover," she said on the sidelines of an apparel launch.
The former World No. 1 had to undergo a knee surgery that affected her performances at the Rio Olympics. She said it wasn't easy to recover as she had to spend six to seven hours on rehab every day. "It was not an easy task for me as I had to work six to seven hours only on rehab. It is a boring thing to do it again and again, but I had to do to strengthen my knee. I'm happy that I crossed that stage now and I am back in the court, and definitely it will improve," she said. Saina added that she is not worried about her game, and looks forward to getting back in shape. "If my game is okay, I need not to have to worry. I'm looking forward to get back into shape and be fit enough."
