New Delhi: Ace shuttler Saina Nehwal survived a battle of nerves to overcome the challenge of German Juliane Schenk to enter the quarterfinals of the Indonesian Super Series in Jakarta on Thursday. Sixth seed Saina came from behind to beat Juliane 18-21, 21-7, 21-19 in a hard-fought match that lasted 46 minutes. In the quarterfinals on Friday, Saina will take on the winner of the pre-quarterfinal match between World No. 7 Chen Wang of Hong Kong and Korea’s Hye Youn Hwang. After losing a close first game, World No. 8 Saina bounced back in style and spanked the German to draw parity. In the last game, the Hyderabad player was lagging behind 7-11, but a flurry of smashes saw her first narrow the gap and then march ahead 18-17 before eventually sealing the game 21-19. Meanwhile, it was curtains for Aditi Mutatkar in the other pre-quarterfinals after the Pune girl was blown away by Maria Febe Kusumastuti of Indonesia 21-8, 21-5 in just 23 minutes. — PTI
