Saina Nehwal Trolls A ‘Fan’ After Qualifying For The Quarter-Finals Of Macau Open

Indian badminton ace Saina Nehwal trolled a critic on Twitter after her pre-quarter final win against Indonesia’s Dinar Dyah Ayustine in the Macau Open. In the hard-fought encounter, the 26-year-old shuttler won the match 17-21 21-18 21-12.

The first round as well was tough for the former World number 1 as she came back from a game down to win the match 2-1 against world number 44 Hanna Ramadini from Indonesia.

A fan took to Twitter to mock Saina’s performance in the first game against Ramadini which the Indian lost 21-23. This particular ignorant fan tried to make fun of the Olympic bronze medallist as he wrote: “losing to unseeded players is the new cool for Saina.”

The current world number 11 has been making a return from a horrific injury she suffered during the Rio Olympics earlier this year. She had sustained an intra-articular injury to her right knee and a small fragment of bone has separated from her patella.

Making a comeback from such an injury takes time, something that the particular fan probably has no idea of. Some of the other Twitter users also came out in Saina’s support and mocked the assailant.
