Indian ace goes down fighting to wang Lin

Teenage badminton sensation Saina Nehwal crashed out of the World Badminton championships on her home turf, losing to the World No 2 Wang Lin of China 16-21, 19-21, in a pulsating 35-minute-encounter yesterday.

The Indian shuttler gave her best but in the end just could not get that crucial point on 18-17 in the second game, when her dribble just tapered off the net and fell on her own side even while her opponent was nowhere near the shuttle.
