1st April, Kuwait:Hussain Al-Suwaidi of UAE turned on his wizardry to win the opening leg of the ABF Tour Kuwait 2010 with an easy victory over challenger, Chester King of the Philippines in the title match, 236-191 to claim the Kuwait title for the second consecutive time.

Hussain Al-Suwaidi immediately settled into a blistering pace with four consecutive strikes from frame 2 onwards which put Filipino, Chester King on his back foot and trailing by 23 pins despite rolling a double in frames four and five.

"I used a wrong bowling ball in the ABF Tour TOC and in the Kuwait Open which I regretted very much," said the 2009 Asia Ranked No. 1, Hussain Al-Suwaidi after the victory. "I changed to a different ball during the warm up and realised that I should have used it before.

"But it's a good start for ths year. I finished seventh in the Dubai Open and fifth in the Malaysian Open but I missed the last 16 cut in the Kuwait Open. This win made up for my disappointment slightly.

The runnerup edged Thailand's Yannaphon Larpapharat, 197-190 in his first round and humbled UAE's Naif Oqab, 217-162 in the second round.
