SINGAPORE: Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal clinched the second Super Series title of her career by winning the Singapore Open with a straight-game triumph over qualifier Tzu Ying Tai in the finals on Sunday.

Top seed Saina took just 33 minutes to beat Chinese Taipei's Tai 21-18 21-15 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The world number six, who was the lone Indian left if fray after others crashed out by the semifinal stage, had bagged her maiden Super Series title in June last year when she claimed the top honours at the Indonesian Open.

The in-form Saina came here after winning the India Open Grand Prix Gold title only last week.

In a game that was close to start with, Saina was locked 18-18 with her rival at one stage before edging ahead. Saina had seven smash winners to show against her rival's three in the opening game.

In the second game, Saina displayed a better net game and outwitted her rival in rallies to emerge triumphant.

The jubilant 20-year-old said that she was slightly jittery when the match started but kept gaining confidence as it progressed.

"It feels great. I was nervous at the start of the match but I maintained my strategy of playing more rallies," she said.

"I was down 14-18 in the first game but I just told myself that 'play your best and give your 100 per cent'. I think that really worked well for me," she added.

Saina is only the 3rd true sportsperson to come out of India...(where agility is counted) after Milkha Singh & PT Usha....in international sports...

This includes even the males.....speaks volume of her ability....the rest all were pretenders...

Sania reached 35 something because others were either injured or were not in form.

Saina is reputed to be, mentally, the most toughest of all Indian sports persons EVER.

Sania and Saina the letters are same only their placement is different...lol

No she didn't win any internationally. She developed enormous thighs very early in her career that got her some ads.

Sania was overrated FU , she didnt win a single title I guess. She could reach in the top 50 seed though, which no Indian could so far.
