Rajiv Ouseph leads England World Championships hopes

Ouseph has won the last three English national titles

England's Rajiv Ouseph is hopeful of taking his good form into next month's World Championships in Paris.

The 23-year-old won last weekend's US Open to climb to 18th in the world and is in a nine-strong English team.

"The US Open was the biggest win of my career," said the three-time national champion. "Now I am looking to bigger challenges, especially the Worlds."

Doubles specialists Nathan Robertson and Anthony Clark are ranked 20th in the world and also chasing a medal.

The duo, who won the 2009 Singapore Open to give England their first Super Series title and European silver in 2004, are joined by Robin Middleton and Chris Langridge in the men's competition.

Gabby White and Jenny Wallwork, who are ranked 19th in the world, will be England's sole pairing in the women's doubles as Mariana Agathangelou, who won European doubles bronze with Heather Olver, has been forced to pull out with a tendonitis injury.

Agathangelou also misses out on the mixed doubles with Middleton, so former world junior silver medallists Chris Adcock and White have been drafted in.

World number 12s and European bronze medallists Robertson and Wallwork lead England's mixed doubles challenge.

Robertson won this event in 2006 with his previous partner Gail Emms, beating compatriots Clark and Donna Kellogg in the final.

The 2011 World Championships will be held in London, at Wembley Arena, for the first time in August of next year.
