[SF] (1) Saina Nehwal (IND,4) vs (7) Ji Hyun Sung (KOR,16)
Saina take early lead 7-4 but after that all Wang show ... She caught Saina at 7-all and from 7-9 she won next 8 points to take control of the game ... Saina saved 3 game points but points difference was vast ... Wang won the first game in 13 mins ... In second game also Saina started well and opened early lead ... She was leading 8-5, 13-8 before Wang caught her at 14-all ... Then Saina again opened 3 points lead from 15-all ... In end that proved crucial to Saina for winning second game in 22 mins.
In decider Saina opened small lead from 4-all to 7-4 ... Saina maintained that lead ... Wang tried to reduce it, she came close at 13-12 and 15-14 ... Again Saina opened the lead to 18-14 but this time Wang won next 4 points to make it 18-all ... After 19-all Saina won last 2 points to scored memorable win over former WR #1 Wang ... This game also Saina won in 22 mins.
Definitely one of Saina's best win of her career ... After losing first game easily frankly I wasn't expecting this turn around but Saina pleasantly proved me wrong.
Next Saina is facing Korean Ji Hyun Sung, who upset WR #5 Chinese player Jiang Yanjiao in 1 hr 18 mins long match.
