Calgary: Indian shuttlers Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa won the Canada Open women's doubles title after upstaging the top-seeded Dutch pair of Eefje Muskens and Selena Piek in the final here.

The third-seeded Indian pair triumphed 21-19, 21-16 in a contest that lasted 35 minutes.

In a closely-contested opening game, Jwala and Ashwini broke away from 19-19 and converted the lone game point opportunity to grab the initiative.

The Indians dominated the second game and raced to a 5-0 lead before going from 10-6 to 15-6 up.

However, Muskens and Piek fought back to win nine points and tie the game at 15-15. But Jwala and Ashwini did not let the advantage slip and won 6 of the next 7 points to clinch the title.

This was Jwala and Ashwini's first title since their reunion after the 2012 London Olympics.

Ecstatic after winning the title with Jwala, Ashwini said consistency has been the key to their success and this victory is a big boost ahead of the World Championship in August.

"It is a fantastic win. We have been playing well and have been consistent. Winning the tournament just before the World Championship is a great boost. Naturally, the World Championship in August is the next target for us," Ashwini said from Calgary.
