Saina Nehwal becomes the first Indian ever to enter the BWF World Championships' final

[Gollum]

Great news on an otherwise gloomy day as far as Indian sports is concerned. Sindhu lost in the QF but Saina has made it to the finals. She will take on the Spanish phenom and world number 1 Carolina Marin. Saina lost to her in the All England finals earlier this year but enjoys a positive H2H record against her(3-1). Marin is also the defending World Champion, so will be a very tough match tomorrow. Hate it when she makes those cat like yelp sounds to distract opponents in between points. Head says Marin, heart says Saina. Indian badminton is going places.:yay: http://sports.ndtv.com/badminton/news/247014-saina-nehwal-vs-lindaweni-fanetri-bwf-world-championships-semifinal-live?utm_source=ndtv&utm_medium=top-stories-widget&utm_campaign=story-1-http%3a%2f%2fsports.ndtv.com%2fbadminton%2fnews%2f247014-saina-nehwal-vs-lindaweni-fanetri-bwf-world-championships-semifinal-live

Saina unlucky on two points. Marin doesnt even apologize for net points :-(

[sourab10forever]

Sweat all over the place

Marin can't hear what the umpire says? She is so arrogant. Umpire warned her so many times. At first she listen after umpires calls 4/5 times and then she does the same thing again. :headshake:

[sourab10forever]

Crowd behind Marin... And yeah..I think she is partial deaf.

[sscomp32]

Sania looking tense

[sourab10forever]

Set is gone

[sourab10forever]

I think the noise at the stadium is too loud for the players to hear the ump.

[sscomp32]

Sharapova of badminton :haha:

[Raghav_12]

Yea..this set is gone

[sscomp32]

This looks like set 1. Saina will have to do something really good to stay in the match.
