Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal overcame a jittery start to defeat spirited Korean Seung Hee Bae and enter the second round of the All England Badminton Championships in Birmingham.
P Kashyap and Arvind Bhat did the star turn as India trounced Australia 4-1 and advanced to the last eight stage of the Thomas Cup finals even as the women's team went down 1-4 to Korea despite Saina Nehwal's thrilling win over Seung Hee Bae in the Uber Cup, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Tuesday.
South Korea stunned champions China 3-1 to win their first Uber Cup on Saturday and snap a run of five final losses to the badminton powerhouse.
