Saina Cruises into the quarters

Saina Nehwal may well prove to be India's next medal winner in Beijing. She defeated the 4th seed and World No. 6 Wang Chen in the pre-quarter finals on Monday.

World No. 15 Saina shocked the 2007 World Championships runner-up Wang 21-19, 11-21, 21-11 in 52 minutes at the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium.

The China-born Hong Kong girl became the highest seed to be knocked out so far.

The win put Saina into the quarter finals and just one match away from moving into medal contention. She will now clash with World No. 21 Maria Kristin Yulianti of Indonesia, who herself stunned sixth seed Tine Rasmussen of Denmark 18-21, 21-19, 21-14 in another 57-minute cliffhanger.
