Singapore: Indian's star shuttler Saina Nehwal stormed into the final of the Singapore Open Super Series badminton with a spectacular victory over World Champion Lu Lan of China Saturday.

World No.6 Saina, who is the top seed in the tournament, lost the first game but bounced back to beat the fourth-seeded Chinese 8-21, 21-17, 21-8 in the semi-finals at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Saina is in line for her second Super Series title having won the Indonesian Open in June last year.

The Indian will meet qualifier Tzu Ying Tai of Chinese Taipei in the title clash. The 16-year-old, Tzu, ranked 118, beat South Korea's Youn Joo Bae 21-16, 21-18 in the other semi-final.
