Russia, last week.

The third seeded Dmytro, who was in his prime form, showed his elevated skills and overpowered his Polish challenger in an interesting battle and won the crown.

Wacha was in complete control remaining miles ahead on the board at 11-4 until the mid-game interval.

Dmytro tried to play positive badminton after the interval but failed to destroy the defence of his higher ranked rival and lost the first game with a margin of 16-21.

It was the Ukrainian shuttler who played attacking badminton from all areas of court and took over the control from his rival.

Dmytro was positive in his execution of shots and took a comfortable lead of 11-7 until the end of opening half.

The Ukrainian continued putting up superb show after the break without showing any mercy to Wacha and managed to grab the set with a 21-15 score on the board.

In the final set, Dmytro played well from the starting points and took a small lead of 11-9 until the end of opening half.

After the 60-second break, Dmytro continued his focused play on court as he did not commit unforced mistake and eventually won the set with a three-point margin of 21-18.
