Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal will today clash with World Number One Yihan Wang of China in the final of the BWF World Super Series Badminton tournament at Liuzhou in China. In the semi-finals yesterday, World Number 4, Saina defeated Tine Baun of Denmark 21-17, 21-18 to set up a summit clash with the home nation's top seed. With this, Saina has become the first Indian singles player to reach the final of the Super series tournament. India's mixed doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and V. Diju are the only other Indians to have achieved this feat. They had reached the finals in the 2009 edition of the tournament, before losing to Christinna Pederson and Joaquim Nielsen.
