Kisona stuns Thai shuttler to march into final


Nothing is impossible: S. Kisona will play Ruselli Hartawan of Indonesia for the gold in today’s final.

SHUTTLER S. Kisona was not expected to go far but she pulled off a big surprise to storm into the women’s singles final on a day Malaysia made four finals in the badminton competition at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex.

Yesterday, Kisona stole the thunder when she saved two match points in the second game to clinch a 11-21, 27-25, 21-14 win over second seed and world No. 22 Nitchaon Jindapol of Thailand.
