We will crack Tai code, says Gopichand

Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu Ying is a complete package but Saina Nehwal and P V Sindhu will soon crack the mystery surrounding the world no 1, who has proved to be their nemesis, India chief coach P Gopichand said today.

Top Indian shuttlers Sindhu and Saina bagged a silver and bronze respectively at the 18th Asian Games after suffering straight game losses to Tai in the final and semifinal.

"Both Sindhu and Saina are mentally and physically tough who don't give up easily. Ratchanok Intanon has successfully taken on Tai Tzu Ying and the Indian shuttlers too need to crack her," Gopichand said.

"The challenge we have is that we have too many tournaments in the world circuit. So it's going to be a challenge to keep improving while playing tournaments, while retaining rankings and defending your points. So, that becomes a lot more challenging. But, I am sure we will break it (Tai's game)."
"She and Carolina (Marin) are the two main opponents, against whom we are trying to find good strategy to beat them."
"Every time, we would go into the court, they would want us to get a medal which is not so easy. But, being a player, definitely, we have to give our best."
