Saina skipped this tournament due to hairline fracture to her little toe ... In her absence we had disastrous outing ... After losing Chines 0-5 our challenge came to end this mixed team event with loss against Indonesians, 1-4 ... This turned poor outing in the Sudirman Cup, where we won only one match from ten matches.
