\"London<\/strong>London<\/strong>: Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal <\/a>found it tough against the world number one player, Yihan Wang of China as she lost her semifinal match in straight games 21-13 21-13 at the London Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saina Nehwal fought valiantly against Wang but the Chinese ensured that there was no coming back in the match for the fourth seeded Indian.<\/p>\n

Saina Nehwal earlier created history by becoming the first Indian shuttler to reach the semi-final stage of the Olympics after defeating Tine Baun of Denmark in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Wang started the game well and won the first game with ease. Her long reach ensured that there was no open space for Saina to capitalize on.<\/p>\n

Saina in the second game looked in better rhythm and took the lead at the half-way stage with score at 11-10 in her favor. But Wang came back strongly with her smashes and deft touches. She gained the lead and the errors started creeping from Saina\u2019s racquet.<\/p>\n

Saina Nehwal will now play for the bronze medal against the other losing semifinalist.<\/p>\n
