Ouseph win helps England demolish Estonia

Rajiv Ouseph helped England to a comprehensive 5-0 rout of Estonia in the first match of the European Men’s Team Championship in Kazan, Russia.

Feltham’s world number 17 opened proceedings and defeated Raul Must 21-13 21-19.

Ouseph had never lost to world number 45 Must in their previous three meetings and after a tight opening he won 11 of 14 points to clinch the opening game.[phone][/phone]

Their match at last year’s Swedish Masters had gone the distance and it looked like this might do the same as Must held a lead for much of the second game.

But Ouseph gradually chipped away and from 17-19 down he claimed four points in a row to secure victory.

England take on Bulgaria in their next group game on Wednesday.
