Saina Nehwal loses in Indonesia Open final
A extravagant defending champion Saina Nehwal faltered at the final hurdle, failing to complete the hat-trick of titles at the Indonesia Open Super Series after losing to Chinese world number three Yihan Wang in the final in Jakarta today. Fourth seed Saina, who won the title in 2009 and 2010, squandered away a match point en-route to her equally error-prone rival.
In a contest which lasted a little over an hour, Saina gained from Wang\'s numerous errors of judgements, misplaced shots and her own trademark smashes to clinch the opening game rather easily. Saina\'s stock smashes were not getting the desired result as Wang showed better judgment on the baseline. In fact, Wang managed nine smash winners compared to Saina\'s two in the deciding game.
