World No.1 Kento Momota gave himself the perfect tune-up for the Yonex All England by winning the Yonex German Open yesterday over compatriot Kenta Nishimoto.
The all-Japanese men’s singles final saw Momota outclass Nishimoto 21-10 21-16 for his first title since the Fuzhou China Open in November last year.
Japan finished with three titles. Akane Yamaguchi beat Ratchanok Intanon in a tense women’s singles final (16-21 21-14 25-23), and Hiroyuki Endo/Yuta Watanabe surprised compatriots Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda in the men’s doubles final (15-21 21-11 21-12).
