Not looking good for India
Yet another underwhelming start for Saina Nehwal and she trails 1-11 in the second mid-game break. Surely, a comeback from here is farfetched?

Saina loses Game 1
Much, much better from Saina Nehwal in the second half of that game, but she left herself a mountain to climb at the start. She surrenders the first game 15-21.
Can the Indian continue this new found momentum in Game 2?

Saina Trails
A shot into the net from Han Yue, finally helps Saina Nehwal open her account but the Indian trails 1-11 at the first mid-game break. Certainly not at her best, is the London Olympics medallist.

Terrible start for Nehwal
There could not have been a worse start for Saina Nehwal as she trails 0-8 in the first game.
