The Saina-Marin match turned out to be a 79-minute slugfest for the packed Sunday house that provided vociferous support to the Indian, who acknowledged the cheers by throwing her racket into the crowd after her triumph.
The top-seeded Indian won 19-21, 25-23, 21-16 to complete a hat-trick of wins against the second-seeded Marin in as many meetings between them.
Saina did not start very promisingly as Marin raced to a 5-2 lead. However, she came back strongly to lead 15-7 playing aggressively. But Marin came back to level the game at 17-17 and clinch the first game 19-21.
The second game was a neck-and-neck affair from the word go. Saina crucially saved two match-points. The loss of the second game seemed to affect Marin as the momentum shifted in favour of the Indian. Saina dominated the third game to build a 15-7 lead. Though the reigning European Champion tried fighting back, it was too much to ask from the 21-year-old as Saina closed out the encounter on her third match-point.
Later, 2012 champion Kashyap beat compatriot and World No. 5 Kidambi Srikanth 23-21, 23-21 in 52 minutes.
Though the duo played several matches in the past, this was their first meeting in an official Badminton World Federation (BWF) match.
