Glorious moment for Indian shuttler Sameer Verma dished out a clinical performance to outwit former world no. 2 Jan O Jorgensen and clinch the men's singles title at the USD 150,000 Swiss Open Super 300 tournament on Sunday. The 23-year-old from Madhya Pradesh showed great anticipation and technique and added power in his smashes to bambazoole Jorgensen 21-15 21-13 in a lop-sided contest.

Sameer Verma opened up a 3-0 lead early and capitalized on it to enter the break with a 11-7 advantage. He never gave an inch to his rival to make a comeback. "I am very happy to win the title. I was confident of doing well but I didn't expect an easy final. I had beaten him narrowly in Hong Kong, so I knew he is a difficult player to beat but he is not 100 percent fit yet as he is coming back from an injury. I had a word with him after the match and he told me he is not 100 percent, so it is a good result for him as well to reach the final," Sameer after his victory.

Sameer Verma, who had clinched the Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold last year and reached the finals at 2016 Hong Kong Super Series, thus lifted his first title of the season and joined fellow Indians Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy, who had won the title in 2015 and 2016. Up against Jorgensen, who made a comeback this season after missing in action for more than seven months following a heel injury, Sameer showed great touch and control to emerge victories in the 36-minute contest.
