Saina Nehwal wins Indonesia badminton tournament

Reported by France 24 on Sunday, 17 June 2012 (on June 17, 2012)

Indian badminton ace Saina Nehwal defeated China's Li Xuerui to win the Indonesia Open Super Series in Jakarta on Sunday, sending out a strong message to rivals ahead of the London Olympics next month.

The world number five took the women's singles crown and $48,750 in prize money by beating world number four Li from a set down 13-21, 22-20, 21-19.

Nehwal said winning her third Indonesia Open title was "special" and hoped for more success in the country. She won the tournament in 2009 and 2010 but lost the following year to China's Wang Yihan.
