Japanese Kento Momota was crowned champion in the $300,000 Singapore Open Superseries badminton men's singles event on Sunday, winning his first Superseries final.

The Japanese World No.10 beat Hong Kong's Hu Yun (No. 13) 21-17, 16-21, 21-15 in a match that lasted almost 80 minutes at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

This makes the 20-year-old the first shuttler in Japanese history to win a men's singles title at a Superseries event.

"I felt a little bit of pressure going into the match because of the possibility of making history, but I just tried to turn that pressure into motivation," Momota was quoted as saying by straitstimes.com after the match.
