Nehwal loses Indonesian Open title

Jakarta, June 26 (ANI): Defending champion Saina Nehwal of India lost her Indonesian Open title to China's Yihan Wang 21-12 , 21-23, 14-21 here on Sunday.

Last year, Saina won three titles-Indian Open grand Prix Gold, Singapore Super Series and Indonesian Super Series-in June, before winning the Commonwealth Games gold medal and Hong Kong Super Series.

But half-way through 2011, Saina has just one title-Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold-and one runner-up finish in the Malaysia Super Series to her name.

On Saturday, Nehwal advanced to the Indonesian Open Super Series finals with a hard-fought victory over Chinese Taipei's Shao Chieh Cheng.

The fourth-seeded Indian won 21-14, 14-21, 21-17 in a 45-minute battle against giant-killer Cheng.(ANI)
