Indonesia's Anthony Ginting sealed the biggest triumph of his career as he stunned reigning world champion Kento Momota of Japan to clinch the men's singles title at the Badminton World Federation (BWF) China Open.

Ginting recorded a battling 23-21, 21-19 victory in an absorbing final at the Olympic Sports Center Xincheng Gymnasium in Changzhou.

The result capped off a superb week for the Indonesian player, who beat four world champions on his way to winning a tournament that is one of only three Super 1000 rated events on the BWF World Tour.

It also condemned Momota to only his second defeat in the 12 major finals he has reached.

"The match was tight and the margin was thin," said Ginting.

"I just tried to do what I did in previous matches when I was trailing.

"I just kept my focus, aiming to get the next point. 

"The drift was a problem and I had to readjust in the second game. 

"I kept the pressure on him with my attack whenever possible.”
