Tai Tzu Ying  

Saina Nehwal yet again failed to crack the code of top seed Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei, losing 20-22, 11-21 in another quarter-final contest

In fact, this was Saina Nehwal's fifth straight defeat against Tai Tzu Ying this year. The Indian had come out second best four times earlier this year - Indonesia Masters, All England Championships, Badminton Asia Championships and in the Jakarta Asian Games

Tai not only beat Sindhu but also fellow Indian Saina Nehwal on the way to Asian Games gold.

'I need to be quicker and have smooth movements, lot more shots as well, to finish the rallies. Somewhere she will catch you. Every rally is a different rally with her. Most players have set pattern but she has got a variety of shots,' Saina Nehwal said after settling for a bronze

Saina's bronze is the first ever women's individual badminton medal in the Asian Games.
