At $120K Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold 2009, Johor Bharu

[QF] (2) Saina Nehwal (IND,8) l (Q) Xin Wang (CHN,UNR) 14-21 10-21

[QF] (1) Diju Valiyaveetil (IND)/ Jwala Gutta (IND) l Hendra Aprida Gunawan (INA)/ Vita Marissa (INA) 21-8 14-21 16-21

Saina was struggled in previous 2 rounds to scored win against lowly ranked Thai players so somewhat this loss was expected one ... I think it mostly due to fatigue after winning Super Series tournament ... But still 27 minutes loss without much fight is surprising by Saina's current standard.

Our MXD top-seed pair also lost against unseeded Indonasian pair, their awful form continued ... So with that our challenge is over from Malaysia Open Grand Prix.
