Anthony Clark and Chris Langridge scooped their second international title as a pair on Sunday in Wien, Austria after their win in Italy last year. The duo was formed after Nathan Robertson and Anthony Clark had to go separate ways when the former was asked to focus on his mixed doubles duo with Jenny Wallwork.

Clark and Langridge beat Japan’s Taeki and Saohata in the final, 21-15, 21-16.

Taipei’s unseeded Hsu Jen Hao won the men’s singles title but the Japanese women shone in Wien, clinching both the women’s doubles and women’s singles titles, with new names showing.  Of particular note was the first international senior victory for 15-year-old Nozomi Okuhara, who will not be participating in the European junior circuit events in March.
