Saina Nehwal one of the hopes of the country for a medal in the olmypics could not make it to the semi finals.She opened up brightly in the first set but went down in the other two sets to Indonesian Maria Kristin Yulianti.
It was a well balanced match.The world No 15 started off well to win the first set. The Indonesian was taken by surprise as Nehwal came back with superb game, bringing the match to an extended set.
With Saina out of the competition the hopes of the country for medal rests in the hand of the boxers and the tennis players.This brings the Indian singles chase for the Olympic Badminton medal to an end with India’s Anup Sridhar already out of the competition early on Monday.
The hopes for the medal might have gone down but the young 18 year old has a long way to go.
