Women’s no.1 seed Saina Nehwal of India entered the semifinal of the India Open on Friday with a two-game 39 minute win over Hana Ramadhini of Indonesia, while her compatriot men’s no.2 seed Kidambi Srikanth also reached the semifinal after a tough match with Japan's Takuma Ueda. Women’s no.2 seed Carolina Marin of Spain also advanced to the semifinal after beating Japan's no.6 seed Nozomi Okuhara in a hard-fought quarterfinal that went to three games and took an hour and 14 minutes. Saina has never won the India Open in so many years but 2015 presents the best chance for her. For the final spot, Saina will have to defeat Japan's Yui Hashimoto, who overcame a tough 3-game challenge in dealing with Hong Kong’s no.7 seeded player Yip Pui Yin.
