Good evening and welcome to the Sportskeeda live coverage of the Denmark Open 2018 women's singles quarter-finals. It's Saina Nehwal vs Nozomi Okuhara!
What a blockbuster quarter-final we have on the cards! Nehwal leads their head-to-head record 6-4. But it is the Japanese who won their last three encounters, including an epic at the Korea Open just last month. Saina had four match points in that match but failed to close it out. Can she avenge that defeat?
Saina had to dig deep in the first round against Cheung Ngan Yi and then had a huge win over the second seeded Akane Yamaguchi. That must have boosted her confidence. And she will hope to use that to get the better of Okuhara tonight.
