Danish badminton great Morten Frost, 60, has been there, done that. After winning the All England title four times - 1982, 1984, 1986 and 1987 and a lot more prestigious titles, the former World No. 1 took to coaching and trained Danish, Malaysian and South African teams. He has now taken up a consultancy role at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy (PPBA) in Bangalore as a part of Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) and PPBA initiatives.

In a chat with mid-day on Saturday, Frost, fondly called Mr Badminton, expressed his views on what Saina Nehwal needs to do to prolong her career, how the World Tour Finals (WTF) win can do a world of good for PV Sindhu, BWF's insisting on top players figuring in 12 Super Series events and what keeps his friendship with legendary Prakash Padukone going.
