Highlighting saina

BWF Singapore Open: Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar paid a glowing tribute to Indian badminton ace Saina Nehwal for carrying Indian badminton to the world stage during her nearly two-decade-long career.

The 2012 London Olympics bronze medallist, who last played at the BWF Singapore Open in 2023, had not officially announced her retirement until Monday, when, during a podcast, the former World No. 1 said she had left the court on her own terms and “there was no need to announce it.”

Highlighting Saina's contribution to the sport, Tendulkar shared on X, "Dear Saina, your career is proof that greatness is built one day at a time, with patience, courage, and consistency. You carried Indian badminton to the world stage and showed that belief, when matched with preparation, can change the course of a sport."
