Indian ace shuttler Saina Nehwal has blamed mental fatigue for her failure in the Malaysian Open Grand Prix Gold as she crashed out of the Malaysian Open after losing the quarterfinal match earlier this.

Saina was looking good for her second straight title win after winning the Indonesian Open title last month, before she was upset by Chinese qualifier Xin Wang in the quarter-finals of the Malaysian Open Grand Prix.

After returning from Malaysia, Saina said that although she was physically fit for the tournament but she was mentally tired due to which she lost some easy points, and she lost her match in the quarterfinal of the Malaysian Open.

She further added that she has been happy to win the Indonesian Open, and this win was unexpected as she did no thought that it will come so early.

Saina will now play in the World Championship which will held in her home town in August.
