MUMBAI — Commonwealth Games women's singles badminton champion Saina Nehwal has pulled out of next week's Glasgow Games due to lack of fitness and failure to recover sufficiently from blisters on her feet. The Indian survived a match point in the 2010 final in New Delhi against Malaysia's Wong Mew Choo to win the gold, which helped the host to second on the medals table. The Olympic bronze medalist suffered blisters on her feet and a groin injury during her Australian Open Super Series victory in June. The July 23-Aug 3 event will also be without defending men's singles champion as Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei was ruled out with a thigh injury earlier this month. – Reuters
