Saina loses to Li Xuerui in China Open final

Reigning Olympic champion Li Xuerui beat defending champion Saina Nehwal to lift the $700,000 China Open Super Series Premier women's singles crown at Fuzhou in China on Sunday.


Li Xuerui bettered her head-on-head record against Saina to 10-2 by crushing the Hyderabad girl 21-12, 21-15 in the final at the Haixia Olympic Sports Centre. 

Xueri has won the last five encounters against Sania. Her last victory against Xuerui came in 2012. 

The Olympic bronze medallist on Saturday sealed the final spot after notching up a 21-13 21-18 win over China's Yihan Wang, a 2011 World Champion and 2012 London Olympics silver medallist, in the semifinals.
