After a slow start, that was absolute domination by Saina Nehwal! All these matches will surely help her get back to peak fitness and form in the next 1-2 months.
Just imagine that Saina was trailing at 6-11 at the break! And she is now on the cusp of taking the opening game! That is exactly what you expect a champion to do!
The top-seeded Saina takes on the eighth seeded Fitriani Fitriani for a place in the semi-finals. Saina has beaten the Indonesian twice and both those wins came last year.
That was surely disappointing for Indian fans. More was expected from the World No, 19 Jayaram, who had beaten Ginting in their last showdown. But unfortunately, today was just not his day!
