Saina Nehwal wins Hong Kong Open
| It is her career's fourth Super Series title triumph |
FABULOUS FOURTH: Saina Nehwal is all smiles after winning the Hong Kong Open women's singles crown in Wanchai on Sunday. The 20-year-old shuttler rallied to pick up her fourth Super Series title with a 15-21, 21-16, 21-17 win over China's Wang Shixian - the Guangzhou Asian games gold medallist - in the final.
New Delhi: Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal rallied to register a scintillating three-game victory over Shixian Wang of China to clinch the title at the Hong Kong Open in Wanchai on Sunday.
The 20-year-old Indian capped her career's fourth Super Series title triumph with a 15-21, 21-16, 21-17 win over the third-seeded Chinese in a gruelling one hour and 11 minutes summit clash at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium.
Saina won back-to-back titles — Indian Open Grand Prix, Singapore Open Super Series and defended the Indonesian Super Series — before clinching the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games in October.
Saina, who dropped to fourth in the world rankings, is likely to inch closer to the No. 1 spot with this resounding victory.
