Hyderabad: After a splendid run in the Indian Badminton League (IBL), star shuttler Saina Nehwal is nowhoping to do well in the upcoming Super Series events and nextyear's Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.
     


"My focus will be on doing well in the Super Series. Next year, it is going to be very tough with Commonwealth Games, Asian games etc," Saina told PTI here.
     
"I hope to stay fit for that," added the world number four who will next play in the Denmark Super Series to be held from October 15 to 20 at Odense.
     
Expressing happiness about her performance in the IBL, where she remained unbeaten, she said the new tournament has helped the young and senior players as well.
    
"IBL would really help all the youngsters, players like us to play with most of the top players and I think it will really help Indian players to improve a lot. Overall,
money-wise every player in the world would get lot more money than playing any other tournaments," Saina said.
