India's Saina Nehwal went down to Chinese Yihan Wang 21-12, 21-23, 14-21 in a gruelling tussle in the final of the Indonesia Open Super Series badminton on Sunday. Fourth-seed Saina was a point away from clinching her third successive Indonesia Open title but she squandered a matchpoint at 20-19, Wang roared her way back into the match that lasted a little over an hour.Nevertheless, the runners up position will give much-needed boost to Saina, 21, who has not had a good run recently and has been toubled by her knee. She lost in the quarterfinals in the Thailand Open and then made a second round exit in teh Singapore Open, where she was the defending champion.
