On Saturday, the Indian test at the Badminton Asia Championships 2018 being held in Wuhan, China, reached an end. Where both Saina Nehwal and HS Prannoy lost their individual semifinal matches. Saina moved back the years and played out of her skin yet, in the end, surrendered to the might of Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei. On the contrary side, in spite of his earnest attempts, Prannoy endured defeat on account of World No. 3 Chen Long.

In the Badminton Asia Championships 2018, both the Indians won the bronze medal. The medal is slated to be the third medal of Sania at the continental championship. Where in for Prannoy, it was his first medal in this Badminton Asia Championships 2018. Worth to mention here that this was India's first men's singles medal since 2007. Earlier, in 2007, Anup Sridhar bagged the bronze, and third overall.

Saina Vs Tai Tzu Ying
Right from the begin, Tai Tzu asserted her strength over Saina and took an early lead.
From 10-15, she gathered back to level at 15-15, a period in which the Indian restrained Tai Tzu into conferring mistakes. 
At 20-18, Saina had two game points yet she let Tai Tzu free, courtesy of a bad judgment call.
At last, however, subsequent to sparing a torrent of the game point, Tai Tzu has managed to squeeze out a 27-25 win. 

The second game began off in a comparative form where Tai managed to take lead for quite a while, however, it was Saina who had the favourable position at 19-17. From that point, however, the Chinese Taipei shuttler grabbed four back to back focuses to win the match 21-19.
