Vietnam’s Tien Nguyen has dethroned three-time champion of the Lagos International Badminton Classics Misha Zilberman of Israel on Saturday at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.

36 year old Nguyen emerged winner after beating the Israeli in two straight sets ( 21-8, 25-23) to end his reign as champion of the Lagos Badminton Classics.

Vietnamese made Zilberman work for every shot as he was forced to make some errors which worked in Nguyen’s favour.

After the game, Nguyen revealed his experience gave him the edge over 30 year old Zilberman.
