Saina Nehwal slams media reports suggesting that her relations with mentor Pullela Gopi Chand had soured.
"It's not that way. He is chief national coach and he has to concentrate on all. That (reports about differences) is not correct," said Saina, according to reports in PTI. She explained that since Gopichand cannot travel with her all the time because of his responsibilities as national coach, she chose to train with Bhaskar Babu.

The media reports claimed that Gopichand felt Saina's focus had deviated from the game as a result of her success and was unhappy with her. With Sudirman Cup, Thailand Open and Singapore Open approaching, the World number four wants to carry her good form into these events. "All these competition occupy the focus now," she said.u00a0
