It's always good to win a title.

Hard work is the key for success.

Each tournament is equally important.

Every tournament is important for me.

I prepare the same for every opponent.

Definitely, the aim is to become No.1.

Tennis, at times, I follow, but not much.

I have to keep moving and keep working hard.

Women's badminton has become so competitive.

One tournament win doesn't make you perfect.

I have a lot of hunger to win the big titles.

You can't compare one tournament with another.

I was at the Gopichand Academy since I was 10.

There are many defining moments in my journey.

I have no tension. I only play to give my best.

Every tournament I have won has been memorable.

We can't play if we are ill or not completely fit.

Injuries are part of life. We can't decide on that.

Win or lose, I always focus only on giving my 100%.

Whoever plays well on a given day, that player wins.

It was important for me to get a super series title.

Playing for Hyderabad Hunters is a very good feeling.

If it makes me happy, it definitely adds to my well-being.

I don't fear anyone. I just concentrate on giving my best.

My long-term goal is to become the world number one player.

I am thankful to my parents. They have done many sacrifices.

I consider the All England as like any normal super series tournament.

A small cold and cough can actually stop you from going where you are.

I put the good playing and game first, and money, prizes are secondary.

I think the coaches have to play a big role in the players' development.

Winning a tournament at the end of the year boosts your confidence a lot.

I train for six days in a week for eight to ten hours of practice per day.

The year 2017 has been really good for me. Definitely, a lot of positive things to learn from.

When you lose in the quarterfinals or semifinals, you actually learn a lot from those mistakes.

I have worked really hard since the age of eight, so each phase of my life is equally important.

You have to keep on learning all the time unless and until you become perfect in all the strokes.

You win some and lose some. It's all part of the game. You have to take it in a very positive way.

Ups and downs will be happening; coming to the final and losing by a point or so should not matter.

When you are injured, you need to strengthen yourself very well to make a comeback very confidently.

In my early years, I would travel 56 km. from home to the training institute and back every single day.

Many players are of the same standard; it all depends on how your strokes land on the other side of court.
