London: Champion shuttler Saina Nehwal rewrote history by becoming the first Indian to cruise into the Olympics badminton semifinal while the crack mixed doubles tennis combination of Leander Paes and Sania Mirza stormed into the quarter finals at the London Games here on Thursday. The 22-year-old fourth seeded Saina warmed the hearts of her fans with a 21-15, 22-20 win over Dane Tine Baun at the Wembley Arena, before Leander-Sania blazed past the Serbian pair of Nenad Zimonjic and Ana Ivanovic, 6-2, 6-4.
