Capital Securities Beijing Open 2026: Chao Yi Wang, Sahra Dennehy Lead Tournament Top Seeds
PPA Tour Asia touches down in China this week, and Beijing is shaping up to be a showpiece. The Capital Securities Beijing Open 2026 runs from 17 to 21 June, with five golds up for grabs and a draw that already has its headline acts written in.
Two players sit above everyone else in the women’s field, and the seedings make no secret of it. Chao Yi Wang is the top seed in all three women’s events—Women’s Singles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles. Sahra Dennehy sits at No. 2 in every one of them. Wherever the two line up this week, the order reads the same: Wang, then Dennehy, then the rest. Both are within reach of a triple crown. Both stand directly in the other’s way of completing it.
The history between them adds plenty of intrigue. The last time the tour visited mainland China, in December, Dennehy beat Wang 11-7, 11-2 to claim the Women’s Singles title at the Vibrant Linping Hangzhou Open—the second of back-to-back golds that closed out a dominant end to her 2025 season. The Beijing draw keeps the pair apart until the final, so on the projected lines, Championship Sunday brings the rematch everyone will want to see.
There is serious company between them, though. Yufei Long claimed four Women’s Singles golds in 2025—more than anyone else on tour—but arrives in Beijing with just a solitary singles bronze from the 2026 season so far. Home soil offers a chance to rediscover that form. Lingwei Kong, meanwhile, continues her rapid rise from a Macao debut just weeks ago to a home event in Beijing, seeded inside the top five across all three events. The projected semifinals pit Wang against Long in the top half, with Dennehy and Kong on a collision course in the other.
The Men’s Singles draw has a new name at the top. Zane Ford makes his PPA Tour Asia debut as the No. 1 seed—and he is not arriving quietly. The world No. 10 comes in off a singles bronze at the PPA Finals 500 in the United States last month, and Beijing marks his first test on Asian soil.
Standing in his way is Vietnamese star Hien Truong, the No. 2 seed and one of the form players of the season. Truong won in Kuala Lumpur in May and became the first player to hold two pieces of the dragon medal set—anything short of the final in Beijing would represent a step back for him. Whether Ford can outgun Truong is the question hanging over the entire bracket.
In Men’s Doubles, one of the tour’s most familiar storylines continues. Jack Wong Hong-Kit and Eunggwon Kim arrive as the No. 1 seeds carrying five medals together—one silver and four bronze. Gold has eluded them every time. Beijing is their latest shot at finally breaking through.
The brackets are locked. The race for five golds begins 17 Jun
