Indian shuttler Chetan Anand continued his rampaging form and thumped England's Carl Baxter in straight games to clinch the Czech International badminton title on Sunday.
The reigning National champion defeated Baxter 21-15, 21-14 in a lopsided final that lasted just 26 minutes.
Anand played brilliantly and his smashes left the Englishman gasping. The World number 33 registered 14 smash points compared to Baxter's 9.
Anand didn't give his opponent any chance and pocketed the first game 21-15. Baxter could not match up to the India's class and Anand outclassed him 21-14 in the second game to seal the match.
With this win, the 28-year-old Arjuna awardee picked his third title of the season. He won the Spanish Open in Madrid, Spain, and the Nepal Open in June.
Besides, Anand had also reached the finals of the Indian Open Grand Prix and finished second to Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand this year.
