Indian ace shuttler Saina Nehwal‘s dream of defending her women’s singles title came crashing as she suffered a straight-game defeat to Olympic champion Li Xuerui in the final of the USD 700,000 China Open Super Series Premier at the Haixia Olympic Sports Center.
- Saina won a parallel game and a point when Li missed the line after a long rally but the Chinese used her net drops and rode on Saina’s unforced errors to lead 11-6 at the break.
- Li, who has won the last five matches against Saina, continued her march after the interval even as the Indian kept breathing down her neck with some occasional points
