Sania in semifinal of All England badminton
|
|
India's Saina Nehwal stormed into the women's semifinal of the All England Badminton Championship with a stunning 21-8, 21-14 quarterfinal win over Germany's Juliane Schenk in 27 minutes at the National Indoor Arena in Brimingham.
Saina is the first Indian woman to reach the quarterfinals of All England, which is in its centenary year. In the semifinal, Saina will meet former world No.1 Tine Rasmussen of Denmark. Rasmussen shocked world champion and sixth seed Lan Lu 16-21, 23-21, 21-11 in the first quarterfinal.
'It is a fantastic victory,' said Pullela Gopichand, former All England champion and national coach, in a statement.
'I told her to playing an aggressive game. Saina is in good touch,' he added.
Asked about her semifinal chances, Gopichand said: 'Saina is a much improved player than last year. She has been working on her strokes. She has the edge over Rasmussen.' |

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of London news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.
This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The London Mercury is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of London.
We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a London weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the London Mercury is for you.
Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories. |
