This is Saina's first win over Wang and also 3rd Super Series title of year 2010 ... She won big cheque of $19,750.

Very close match ... Both played very high quality game ... Impressed with Saina the way she take this challenge, where with Chinese opponent she was againsr most of the vocal crowd and little biased officials.

Saina was struggling in the first game ... Shixian take control of the game from 15-13 to won it ... But from second game Saina showed improvement in her game and matched shot by shot with Shixian ... Played awesome/ amazing drop shots, cross courts, half smashes, smashes and down the line ... In last 2 games she controlled from the start and Shixian was doing caching game but Saina kept her focus to win it.
