Saina Nehwal zoomed to no. 2 spot in the world ranking released by the Badminton World Federation(BWF )on Thursday. The grand treble she achieved last month, wining the Indian Grand Prix , Singapore and Indonesian Super Series, had catapulted her to the third spot on June 24 and as China’s Wang Xin lost 3,400 points in the last week, the Indian ace moved one rank up to be second.

Thrilled at the phenomenal achievement, Saina said that the rise in the rankings reminds her of the responsibility to do well for the country. “I am feeling thrilled. I can’t believe that I am world no. 2. I know it’s all because of the three consecutive victories last month. But I am a little bit tense now I know there will be a lot of expectations. It’s a great responsibility though.”
