Anthony Clark is brimming with confidence ahead of the world championships after recording the biggest win of his career.

It came in the men's doubles final of the Aviva Singapore Open when the Ellistown player and partner Nathan Robertson "annihilated" world champions and Olympic gold medallists Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan 21-12, 21-11 in just 26 minutes.

It was the first time a British pair had won a title on the Super Series Tour, which ranks second only to the world championships.

Clark is now looking forward to scaling the heights at the world event in Hyderabad, India, next month.

"We go into it full of confidence," said the 31-year-old. "Everyone who saw us play in Singapore has every reason to be scared."

After a close victory over world No. 3 pair Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon in the last 16, they didn't drop another set on their way to the title.

"It was special to win it and especially in the manner we did," said Clark. "We just got better as the tournament went on."

They reached their peak in the final against the world No. 1 pairing from Indonesia.

Clark said: "There was hardly an error, which is most unusual in a game of badminton. We just didn't miss and everything we hit went in. It was as near as it comes to an annihilation."

Even Andy Wood, the England doubles coach and Olympic team manager, had to catch his breath. "Anthony and Nathan's performance was simply outstanding," he said.

"Their forecourt domination and variety in defence at times was unplayable."

Clark has a massive pedigree in the sport, having competed in the last two Olympic games.

He reached the mixed doubles final of the 2006 world championships with Donna Kellogg – losing out, ironically, to Robertson and Gail Emms. He was also a finalist in the men's doubles.

Since then, there has been success with Kellogg in the 2008 European championships.

Clark will continue his partnership with Kellogg but it is, perhaps, his combination with Robertson that catches the imagination.

They played together until about eight years before regrouping last September. Victory in Singapore is evidence of how well they have gelled again in such a short space of time.

The World Championships will the next big test. But there is also one eye on the London 2012 Olympics.

Clark said: "We'll keep going as long as we can and we certainly want to be there in 2012.''

A badminton gold on home soil would be something special. But Clark could have made his mark in another sport – cricket.

"I loved all sports as a kid but was particularly good at cricket," he said. "I played at Nottinghamshire and was their under-16 captain.

"I remember one game against Lancashire when we came up against the best junior batsman of that time, Andrew Flintoff – and I managed to knock out his middle stump. Looking back, it seems laughable, considering what he's achieved since then."

Cricket's loss is badminton's gain. Although Clark will be following the Ashes series with interest, the most important test for Robertson and himself will come in India next month.

The Oadby and Wigston badminton team made history by winning all their matches in the Leicestershire and Rutland annual youth games on Sunday.

The team, which is coached and managed by George Frith, the former British Army Number 1 player, were unbeatable on the day, playing 32 matches and winning all of them.
