I like Saina's attitude. She got the bronze, was happy that she did (especially for her country in a physically demanding sport), but didn't go overboard because of a couple of reasons:

1) she had set her sights higher, and

2) the fact that her opponent who was actually leading the match, retired hurt and she got the medal in the process.

She was playing well enough to possibly take the match to an exciting 3rd set we all missed out on. I'm officially a fan now
