Indian ace badminton player and World No. 4 Saina Nehwal of India was defeated by World No. 1 Wang Yihan 18-21, 21-13, 21-13 in the women’s singles final of the $500000 BWF World Super Series badminton championship in China on 18 December 2011. In 2011 Saina won only the Swiss Open Super Series title.
Wang proved to be too good for the Indian shuttler in the crucial phases of the 72-minute final. The scores were levelled twice, four-all and 11-all, before the Chinese picked seven points in a row to take a huge 18-11 lead. With this win, Yihan kept her 100 per cent record against Saina intact, having now beaten her in all their four faceoffs so far.
Saina Nehwal had created history by becoming the first ever Indian to enter the singles final of the World Super Series. Gutta Jwala and V. Diju were the only other Indians who made it to the final in mixed doubles in the 2009 edition.
