At $200K Wilson Swiss Super Series, Basel

[R1] Anup SRIDHAR (IND,30) bt Shoji SATO (JPN,17) 22-20 13-21 21-14

[R1] Saina NEHWAL (IND,29) bt Anna RICE (CAN,24) 21-13 21-13

Anup responded with good hard fighting win over top seed Japanese player ... This 55 mins match was close one as Anup won 56 rallies and Sato won 55 ... Anup's next round opponent is still to decide but mostly Olympics champion 7th seed Taufik Hidayat will be his opponent.

After longtime, frankly I feel like ages ... ;), Saina scored win over higher rank opponent and thats also in Super Series ... Next round her opponent will be Chinese WR #1 Xingfang Xie ... It would be great learning experiance for Saina.
