And a huge smash to end it. Saina jumps for joy

 

[kuwichert]

wl totally washed out

WL totally cannot read SN's net shot. she moved back before SN even touches the shuttle.

 

[madbad]

BTW, love those Intel ads.

ZN no expression.

Great game, great fight back from Saina to win over Wang Lin..Giving only 9 pts to WL in the final game..

I doubt whether this is the first ever badminton open title recognised by the World Federation won by an Indian lady in the history book if SN won it.

..in the modern era (last 20-25 yrs), SS type tourney, yes..

Prize presentation, Wang Lin can only smile to the crowd. Saina with the Indian flag draped around her body..the crowd cheer..

SN's net shots.....reminds me of TH......very high quality....

Congratulation SN.....first SS Title

great come back for SN. who is covering her mouth not believing that she has won a SS from a Chinese player. she totally outplayed WL in the 2nd and 3rd game. great win!

WL will have a lot of explanation to do and she will need to learn a big lesson from this loss.

Woww congrat to Saina Nehwal for great achievement today. I think she deserved to get it since she showed the best performance. Two chinese players defeated in a row, proved that she is a dangerous player in the next tournament. I love it! Now, women single not only dominate by Chinese players...

 

[bayanbaru]

saina netplay is superb

 

[kwun]

WL, despite the loss, is still giving smile to her fans.

 

[litobear]

cooler:
good win for india badminton..
good win for yonex too...

 

[kwun]

Saina's netplay is the same netplay as what Gopichand used to win the AE. simple projectile, no tumbling, but ultra deceptive.

 

[zqloy]

SN's net shots.....reminds me of TH......very high quality....

Congratulation SN.....

Welcome to joint the club....'beating Chn WS Club'...members : TR, WMC, ZM, WC and MKY..........new member SN........

Saina use to be a physical player. Looks like she has been working hard on her net shots. Very much a difference player than she used to be.

 

[kwun]

Saina drapes an Indian flag onto the podium. well deserved win and well deserved celebration for Indian badminton.

[madbad]

Saina will be very hard to beat on her home soil in the WC
