It didn’t take much for the new team of Trevor Crabb and John Mayer to celebrate their first title. Playing just their second tournament together, the Americans won the World Tour three-star tournament in Lucerne, Switzerland, on Sunday.

Crabb, who split with Sean Rosenthal earlier in the season, and Mayer had a comfortable 21-10, 21-16 victory over Serbia’s Stefan Basta and Lazar Kolaric in the gold medal match in Switzerland. The local team of Mirco Gerson and Adrian Heidrich claimed bronze after a 21-19, 21-13 win against Indonesia’s Candra Rachmawan and Mohammad Ashfiya.

In the women’s tournament, Australia’s Taliqua Clany and Mariafe Artacho took the gold home. The runners-up of the 2018 Commonwealth Games prevailed over China’s Fan Wang and Xinyi Xia in straight sets (21-12, 21-18). USA’s Emily Stockman and Kelley Larsen also stepped in the podium following a 2-1 (19-21, 21-17, 15-9) triumph over the Netherlands’ Joy Stubbe and Marleen van Iersel.
