Hong Kong, Dec 12 (IBNS): Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal defeated China's Shixian Wang in the final of the women's singles to win the Hong Kong Open Super Series badminton tournament here on Sunday.
Second seeded Saina won 15-21, 21-16, 21-17 against third seeded Wang in a marathon encounter that lasted one hour and 11 minutes at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium.
Wang, an Asian Games gold medallist, was high on confidence and won the first set, but Saina showed excellent nerves to come back from a set down to win her fifth title of the year, which includes three Super Series and Commonwealth Games gold.
The Hong Kong Open was the fourth Super Series title for Saina, who won her first Super Series at the Indonesian Open last year.
