Rajiv Ouseph has beaten Brice Leverdez of France 21-17 21-9 to win the Yonex US Open in Los Angeles.
The match lasted just 30 minutes as the Englishman took control, especially in the second game where he won seven consecutive points and took the match at the first attempt. The win can also be seen as revenge for Leverdez's defeat of Carl Baxter in the third round of the tournament. The win is the Englishmans fifth tournament title on the international tour.
The world number 22 from Middlesex dispatched the 9th seed in just thirty miutes to take the title that he has described as "the biggest win of my career". Ouseph will find out on Thursday if the win will be enough to take into the worlds top twenty, beating his previous high ranking of 21.
