Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal entered the semifinals of Japan Open Super Series badminton tournament in Tokyo after dispatching Singapore's Juan Gu in straight games in just half an hour on Friday.
The fourth-seeded Indian defeated Juan 21-17, 21-13 to make the last-four stage, where she will take on Germany's Juliane Schenk.
Saina was facing Juan after almost three years and the Indian dominated her world number 23 rival just the way she did in 2008.
Saina opened a massive 18-9 lead and it all seemed like a stroll in the park but Juan fought back for a while to reduce the gap to 19-17.
