Good evening and welcome to the Sportskeeda liveblog of the 2017 Malaysia Masters semi-finals. Saina Nehwal is the top seed at this tournament and has looked good so far. She has won all three of her matches so far without dropping a game.
She faces the fifth seed Yip Pui Yin in the semi-finals, a player against whom she has a 6-2 head-to-head record.
