Saina again loses in Super Series Finals

LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 04: Saina Nehwal of India stands with her Bronze medal following the Women’s Singles Badminton Gold Medal match on Day 8 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at Wembley Arena on August 4, 2012 in London, England.

Shenzhen (China), Dec 13 – London Olympics bronze medallist shuttler Saina Nehwal lost her second straight Group B match here at the BWF Super Series Finals against Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand in straight games Thursday.

The Thai girl won 21-13, 21-16 in 34 minutes to virtually end Saina’s campaign at the Super Series Finals where she reached the final in 2011.

Seeded second, the Hyderabadi next plays her final group match against German Juliane Schenk Friday. Saina’s chances of making the semifinals now look very bleak.
