She has now cruised into the pre-quarters of the Women\u2019s draw and would square off against Korea&#8217;s Youn Joo Bae in her next match.<\/p>\n<p>Saina faced some resistance from Pui early on at a point it was only it was three points that separated them. Locked at 8-5, Saina picked up three consecutive points to make it 11-5 and thereafter it was no stopping her as she paced off to the victory.<\/p>\n<p>The second was rather too easy for the Indian as her opponent started to feel the heat and made some silly mistakes. From 11-6, Saina won 10 consecutive points to seal the fate of the match.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She played well in the first set, she made silly errors, but it&#8217;s good to beat someone from the top 20,&#8221; Saina said after the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the Asian Games, I beat her again here. I think I have beaten her third or fourth time. She played well and I was defending most of the time. But I was confident with my smashes and I used them sparingly. There was pressure before the match but I played well today and settled down very quickly,\u201d added Saina.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the, mixed-doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and V Diju lost to the Chinese pair of Tao Jiaming and Xia Huan 21-18, 21-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Samikshan Dutta Choudhury<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal started off her Indian Open Super Series on a sweet note as she beat World number 19 Yip Pui Yin of Honkong at the Siri Fort Sports Complex here on Wednesday.
