"I WAS THINKING TOO HARD".

                                                                -SAINA NEHWAL

                                               she was beaten in straight games by world number one Wang Yihan in the women's singles semifinals at the London Olympics on Friday.However,Saina remains in the medal hunt as she will be competing in the bronze medal play-off on Saturday.

Up against the top seeded Chinese, Saina committed too many unforced errors to see her dreams of winning a gold medal crashing after slumping to a 13-21 13-21 defeat in the semifinal tie which lasted for 42 minutes at the Wembley Arena.There was very little margin for error for Saina as Yihan(Top seeded)  was sharper, more accurate and also used her powerful smashes to outwit the Indian here.

              "I didn't move well at all in the match, I was thinking too hard," said the fourth seed(Saina).

Saina will next take on the loser of the other semifinal match between Xin Wang and Li Xuerui in the bronze medal play off on Saturday.
