Indian hope Saina Nehwal will step into the court on Thursday to realise her dream of becoming nation's first woman shuttler to win a Commonwealth Games gold with Malaysian Mew Choo Wong standing in her way of the coveted title.
Top seed Saina have been in red-hot form this year, winning three titles - India Open, Singapore Superseries and Indonesian Superseries -- to rise to the world number three and so far in the Games, she has remained invincible.
The 20-year-old has an enviable record of beating Wong four times this year but Saina will be fully aware that past record will not matter on Thursday.
In fact, it was Wong who had stretched Saina into three games in their last encounter in the team event.
