India’s top-ranked shuttler Saina Nehwal blamed a series ofinjuries she suffered during the year for her dip in form and said that her main focus in the coming year would be regaining her fitness.

“If I look back, I think despite injuries I continued playing. 2013 was all about injuries like my toe fracture, ankle injury and other small niggles. I didn’t realise how time flew. In 2014, I will make sure that I skip a few tournaments and focus on my fitness.
