(CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD WISHES TO HER FOR HER FUTURE MATCHES!!!...VIBHA)

India's ace shuttler Saina Nehwal on Sunday (December 12) defeated China's Shixian Wang 2-1 to clinch the Hong Kong Super Series title.

After dropping the first set, Saina avenged her 2010 World Championship slayer and Asian Games champion Wang 15-21, 21-16, 21-17 to clinch the series.

Sania made a brilliant comeback after losing the first game to Wang 15-21, to win the next two games in commanding fashion.

Before winning the Hong Kong Open, Saina, who has been in formidable form this season registered three back-to-back titles this year, winning the Indian Open, Singapore Open and defending the Indonesian Open. But the icing of the cake for her was the Commonwealth Games gold medal.

Sania on Saturday fought her way to final with a grueling three-game victory over sixth seed Juliane Schenk of Germany 21-19, 17-21 in the semifinal to book a date with Shixian.

Shixian, on the other hand, beat top seed and compatriot Xin Wang 21-12, 21-14 in the other semifinal match.
