Saina Nehwal's 5 best Superseries victories

2.Denmark Open, 2012

Seeded number 3 in the competition, this was perhaps one of Saina’s more convincing wins. She began by playing Bae Yeon-Ji of Korea in the opening round and then gave the same treatment to Minatsu Mitani and Tine Baun of Denmark in straight games to make into the semifinals.

In the semis, Saina was holding all aces against China's Wang Yihan, who was the top seed, winning the opening game 21-12 and leading 12-7 in the second, before her opponent suffered an injury and had to withdraw.

Up against Julien Schenk in the final, Saina brought her A game out and won 21-17 21-8 to lift her maiden title in Copenhagen.
