All that she has face now is the Chinese(All other semi-finalists are Chinese!!!!!!!!!) -
Prashanth_p@cchiSaina next faces Yihan wang(Current World No:1). Saina has played 5 times against her and won just once 😔. That worries me a bit. But seeing her current form, I think she has got a chance, even if Saina looses it will be a hard-fought 3 setter.
