And with Saina's loss our challenge ended in singles ... After winning first game easily Saina played very error-prone game ... She did too many silly mistakes near net.

Jwala and Shruti performed as per their ranking but lost their semis very easily against unranked Indonasian team.

Diju and Jwala also performed as per their ranking to reach final ... They r showing very consistent performance now interesting to see if they lift only title for Indians in India Open.
