Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal notched up a stunning straight game victory against Denmark's Tine Baun in the semi-finals of the BWF World Super Series badminton tournament at Liuzhou in China today. World No.4, Saina defeated Tine Baun 21-17, 21-18 to set up a summit clash with world No.1 Yihan Wang tomorrow. She became the first Indian singles player to reach the summit clash of the Super series finals. Jawala Gutta and V.Dijju are the only other Indians to have achieved the feat when the mixed doubles pair reached the finals in the 2009 edition of the tournament before losing to Christinna Pederson and Joaquim Nielsen. Saina yesterday registered a straight game victory over world No.3 Xin Wang in the last group "B" match.
