JAKARTA: India’s Saina Nehwal marched into the final of the Indonesia Open Super Series Premier badminton event Saturday with a convincing victory over South Korean Ji Hyun Sung. However, compatriot Parupalli Kashyap’s impressive run ended with a loss to local favourite Simon Santoso.
Fifth seeded Saina took just 50 minutes to dispose of her opponent 22-20, 21-18. She will now face China’s Xuerui Li in the title match Sunday. Earlier, Kashyap lacked the consistency he possessed in the earlier matches and went down 15-21, 12-21 to the World No.9. (PTI)
