HYDERABAD: Saina Nehwal's dream run came to an end after she suffered a 21-13, 8-21, 14-21 loss to Wang Xin of China in the final of the Malaysian Open Grand Prix Gold at Alor Setar on Sunday.
Saina, who never lost an international final since the 2006 Philippines Open triumph, came a cropper against Wang. The Chinese star player, who is a rung above Saina in the world rankings, was scratchy at the start but gained momentum and dominated the Indian after conceding the first game.
With the triumph in the final, Wang improved her career record over Saina to 3-0, with all the three victories coming in Malaysia.
