Saha, ranked 259 in the world, played with purpose
right from the start and had the measure of his opponent. With his attacking
game, Saha proved to be too good for the Singaporean who just about manged to
take a game off the Indian.
Divya Deshpande, on the other hand, finished 13th in the
second stage defeating world No. 135 Beh Lee Wei of Malaysia 4-2. This was the second
occation in the championships that the 16th seeded had beaten the Malaysian.
Earlier, the Indian had accounted for Wei in the first stage group D matches
with a 4-2 verdict. Incidentally, Divya who topped her group, became the
winner of the Continental Cup.
Divya, though began slowly, picked up her threads from where
she left off in their previous meeting to catch her opponent on the wrong foot.
TheMalaysian did show glimpses of staging a comeback but Divya was too strong
in her returns. Often employing good smashes, Divya won several of her points
in the match.
