After winning bronze medal at London Olympics, Saina Nehwal has another big win to her credit. The ace shuttler fought through a troubling knee to clinch her fourth title of the year by lifting the Denmark Open Super Series Premier trophy with a dominating win in the final on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Saina, who was competing in her first tournament after the London Games, won 21-17, 21-8 in 35 minutes defeating German opponent Juliane Schenk to notch up her second Super Series Premier title which fetched her $30,000 from a total purse of $400,000.

"I thank Denmark and the Indian fans here for supporting me. I never expected to win this tournament," an elated Saina said after the win which took her overall lead against Schenk to 6-3. Meanwhile, there were interesting turns before the match as it began a few minutes past the scheduled time as a false fire alarm went off at the venue.

Playing in her fourth final of the year, Saina made a resounding start reeling off four straight points with a mix of her trademark crosscourt smashes to which Schenk had no response. "There were a lot of things which I did after Olympics which made me fresh but every tournament is tough. My right knee was not really in perfect shape but I thank god for giving me the energy to win the title," said Saina.

Saina had beaten world number one Yihan Wang in the semifinals!
