Both received byes in their respective first round matches, but from the second round, it is Saina who has had a smoother sailing as compared to Marin, having lost just one game, en route to the final as compared to her opponent’s 3.
While Marin did defeat Saina at the All England Championships, she does possess a better record in the overall head-to-head and defeated the Spaniard at the 2015 India Open Grand Prix Gold earlier this year.
So it promises to be an absolutely fascinating contest between the No.1 seed and No.2 seed on Sunday and all we can hope is for the Indian to come out of trumps and create history in front of what is expected to be a pretty vociferous crowd.
