Good win by Saina against experienced Tine, who had 3-1 win-loss record against Saina before this match and who defeated her in their last meeting ... In this match from the start Saina played very controlled game against Tine ... Other hand Tine was trying too many things on the court ... Surprisingly Tine made too many errors on service returns and on her forehands ... Saina played some excellent half-smashes and she was good near net ... Saina managed to pull errors from Tine's racquet from back of the court with her smart game ... Saina will play her first final of BWF World Superseries Finals ... In the final she will face WR #1 Yihan Wang, who defeated other Wang comfortably in the semis.
