A brilliant performance by India's ace shuttler Saina Nehwal saw her enter the women's singles final of the China Open Superseries Premier on Saturday.

The defending champion and top seed beat former World Champion and old foe Yihan Wang of China 21-13, 21-18 in 41 minutes.

It was only less than 24 hours ago that Saina comfortably eased past Japan's Nozomi Okuhara in straight-sets as well on Friday.
