"My aim is to win a medal for the country at the Commonwealth Games," the shuttler said even as she went into intense preparations at the Pullela Gopichand- Nimmagadda Foundation Badminton Academy at Gachibowli.
"I have four more weeks for that (Commonwealth Games). This time I will be preparing even more harder, because it's happening in India. It's a big tournament. I am focusing on my game and I have to win a medal. Let's see what happens finally," Saina said.
"For me it's only preparations now for doing well in the Commonwealth Games," she added.
Asked about her experience at the World Championship in Paris, where she lost to Chinese ShixianWang, the 20-year-old said: "I think I was not moving quite well on that day. It was really a slow game for me, though I gave her a tough fight.
"But it happens. When you play at that level you lose badly sometimes. I was really disappointed at the loss. I thought the way I played in the last few tournaments compared to that it was a bit slower this time," she pointed out, adding "I could have reached the semifinals."
"I need to work more on my movements and also on my mental strength, because in this match I noticed that I gave up some points. I didn't even think I will do such kind of silly mistakes. May be next time I will overcome (mistakes)," the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna awardee noted.
Saina, who slipped one spot from her career-best position of world number two in the latest international badminton rankings, observed:
