"I had a knee pain and could not give my best. It was heavily strapped, and I tried my best. My movements were not smooth and were painful. It's heartbreaking loss. I also feel very bad about it," Saina said, blaming her Knee pain for her shocking exit from the ongoing Rio Olympics. The injury according to her happened during training before the Olympics and it got worse during the match. "It happened just before the Olympics about one and half weeks back. It happened during training and got aggravated after coming here," she said. Saina agreed that she was not able to move well but credited her opponent for playing well.

"She played better but I was not able to move on the court. I tried for improvement but was not successful." While Tennis player Sania Mirza admitted she may have played her last Olympic Games after she and Rohan Bopanna failed in their bid to give their country its first medal of the Rio Games. The pair lost the tennis mixed doubles bronze medal play-off, going down 6-1, 7-5 to Lucie Hradecka and Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic in just 71 minutes. “The Olympics is only ever four years.

I don’t know if I will be still playing in four years,” said the 29-year-old who was on the verge of tears as she addressed the media under a sweltering Rio sun. “We didn’t play our best, but that’s sport. It’s going to take some time to get over this. We had chances and in the second set we could have won multiple times. “There’s not a lot I can say to you guys at the moment.” It was a disappointing tennis event for India in Rio.
