Saina wins Indian Open Grand Prix

Chennai: Top seed Saina Nehwal of India rallied to beat Malaysian Mew Choo Wong 20-22, 21-14, 21-12 and win the Yonex-Sunrise India Open Grand Prix badminton tournament here Sunday. World No.6 Saina came back strongly in the title clash after losing the first game and stepped up the gas against the second-seeded Malaysian in the next two games, with the home crowd cheering for her. "Initially, I was a bit nervous and was not playing my own game. But then I calmed down and told myself to be confident. There was too much of drift sideways and I was finding it difficult to counter. I thought I came back well in the next two games, playing long rallies and my stamina was also good," Saina said. Saina, who lost in the semi-finals of the Asian Badminton championship in New Delhi in April, said after this title win she will be more confident to play at home.
