Saina Nehwal loses; still in hunt for bronze

The world  #1 Wang Yihan of China outplayed India's Saina Nehwal to beat 21-13, 21-13 in the semifinals of women's badminton singles match at the London Olympics 2012 on Friday.


It has been a disappointing day at the office for Saina Nehwal. She had her brief moments but that was it. Nothing worked for her today. Yihan, on the other hand was at her murderous best. She dished out attacking stuff and used her height to get some great court coverage. With the defeat, Saina is now out of reckoning for a Gold or Silver medal but is very much alive as far as the Bronze is concerned. She will be playing another Chinese for the bronze medal. Whether it is Wang Xin or Li Xuerui, we will know in some time.
