Hyderabad: Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying is a complete package but Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu will soon crack the mystery surrounding the World No.1, who has proved to be their nemesis, India’s chief coach Pullela Gopichand said here Thursday.

“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, while retaining rankings and defending points. So, that becomes a lot more challenging. But, I am sure we will break it (Tai’s game),” added Gopichand. It should be mentioned here that Saina and Sindhu have lost 22 matches between them to Tai.

Gopichand called Tai a ‘complete package’. “You are looking at a player who is quick on her feet, who is aggressive, smart, emotionally strong and also can run quite a bit. So, you are looking at a package which is quite dominant in terms. So you have to have your game at top level consistently,” he pointed out.
