Saina Nehwal won the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix Gold Open badminton tournament after warding off a stiff challenge from Cheah Li Ya Lydia of Malaysia in Taiwan on Sunday.

The 2006 Philippines Open champion thrashed world No. 76 Bernadet 21-7, 21-11 to set up a title clash with the unseeded Malaysian Li Ya Lydia Cheah, who defeated local girl Yi Ju Chiu in the other semifinal.

This is the third major final for the Indian, who had also reached the summit clash of the World Junior badminton championship in 2007.

“I was a bit tense going into the match as she had beaten Yulianti yesterday. But once the tie began I found out that she was very tired and just went on the offensive,” Saina told media reporters from Taipei.
