Since the beginning, Nehwal took control of the match. The bronze medalist at 2012 London Olympic from India is far more experienced than the world's #53 young player, Fitriani.

Powerful smashes aimed to Fitriani often resulted in important points for Nehwal. Fitriani said she often had difficulty in anticipating fierce bombardments engaged by the Indian player.

"Saina attacked a lot. There were strategies given by the coach but they were not coming out from me. I was lacking ball control as well as wind factor," said Fitriani who is from Exist badminton club.

"I couldn't let my best out, I wasn't playing optimally. I feel that I was impatient and making own mistakes," said a player who finally tasted how it feels to play against a world class player.

Unlike Fitriani, Nehwal said she was performing with full of self confidence. She thinks that Fitriani is the future player of Indonesian women's singles.

Moreover, the three time Indonesia Open champion from India said she would be aware of every opponent in this tournament. Because the competition shown in the women's singles has been tight since the beginning.
