Saina Nehwal wins maiden Super Series title
Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal clinched her maiden Super Series title on Sunday, winning the Indonesian edition after beating Chinese Lin Wang 12-21, 21-18, 21-9.

Overwhelmed by her win, Saina's father said it's a matter of pride for India. I have invested everything in her, he said while speaking to NDTV.

Earlier, sixth-seed Saina beat seventh-seed Lu 25-23, 21-19 to set up the title clash with third-seed Lin Wang.

In the first game, Saina and Lu battled tooth and nail and were on even keel, moving from 13-13, to 23-23 before the Hyderabadi sealed the game.
