2026 Leapmotor Singapore Open: Jack Wong Hong-kit Makes History, Yufei Long Bags Two Golds
Jack Wong Hong-kit wrote history in Singapore this past weekend. Already a familiar name across Asia, Hong-kit carved out new territory by clinching his third consecutive Men’s Singles gold at the Leapmotor Singapore Open 2026. His 6-11, 11-7, 11-3 victory over Adam Harvey not only sealed the title but also made him the first player to achieve a singles hat-trick on the PPA Tour Asia.
It was far from straightforward. Harvey, ranked World No.19 and making his tour debut, had been the revelation of the week. He snatched the opening game and looked poised to add another upset to his growing reputation. Wong, however, adjusted quickly. He shifted his approach, tightened his play, and from that moment, the match tilted firmly in his favour.
“I had to change my mindset and adopt a different strategy after losing the first game,” Wong reflected afterwards. “Nobody likes to lose in a final. I’m so happy I managed to achieve another victory in another amazing city like Singapore this week.”
This triumph adds to Wong’s earlier golds in Beijing and Tokyo, cementing his place as the most decorated Men’s Singles player on the Asian circuit. Harvey, meanwhile, departs Singapore with silver and a debut performance that suggests he will be a force to reckon with in the months ahead.
Yufei Long Stands Tall on Women’s Side
The women’s side of the draw belonged to Yufei Long. Though she missed out on the elusive Triple Crown, she still walked away with two golds. Long dominated the Women’s Singles final, dispatching Anni Xie 11-4, 11-0, before teaming with Kara Wheatley to edge Jamie Haas and Lingwei Kong in a tight Women’s Doubles contest. Those victories propel Long to the top of both singles and doubles medal ladders in Asia.
In Men’s Doubles, Len Yang and Collin Johns returned to winning ways. After settling for silver in Tokyo, they reclaimed gold in Singapore with a hard-fought 11-4, 4-11, 11-7 win over Hien Truong and Kenta Miyoshi. For Yang, it marked his third Men’s Doubles gold and fifth overall in the discipline, further extending his lead at the top of the medal standings.
The Mixed Doubles final delivered a fresh storyline. Jaeda Minniefield and Luc Pham, playing together for the first time, overcame Xiao Yi Wang-Beckvall and Robert Stirling 11-9, 7-11, 11-5. Minniefield struck gold on her PPA Tour Asia debut, a fitting conclusion to a weekend where new partnerships kept rising to the occasion.
From established champions to breakthrough talents, Singapore offered a snapshot of a tour in full bloom. Next stop: Vietnam, where the MB Ho Chi Minh City Open will unfold from 6 to 9 August. If Singapore is any indication, the drama is only just beginning.
