Capital Securities Beijing Open 2026: Sahra Dennehy, Jack Wong Hong-kit Headline Winners in Championship Sunday
The Capital Securities Beijing Open 2026 saved its best for last. Championship Sunday at the National Tennis Centre produced world-class pickleball across five disciplines, and when the confetti settled, Jack Wong Hong-kit had his gold, Sahra Dennehy had two of them, and the PPA Tour Asia’s historic first stop in the Chinese capital had lived up to every bit of its billing.
Jack Wong Hong-kit Gets Gold
Jack Wong Hong-kit dispatched American debutant Zane Ford 11-5, 11-8 on Championship Court in a final that was never as close as the scoreline suggests. Wong controlled the tempo from the opening rally, dictating terms at the baseline and giving Ford—who had impressed throughout the week as the tour’s Men’s Singles top seed—no clean looks at the game he needed to get back into it. Straight games. Clinical. Composed. The gold is long overdue.
In the bronze medal match, Hien Truong showed exactly why he remains one of the tour’s most dangerous players. The Vietnamese star dropped the opening game 8-11 to Australia’s Harrison Brown—the week’s breakout performer—before turning the match on its head with consecutive 11-4, 11-6 wins. Brown’s dream run ended at the final hurdle, but not without serving notice that he belongs at this level.
Sahra Dennehy Dominates, Then Doubles Up
Sahra Dennehy’s Beijing Open was the week’s defining individual performance.
The Australian No. 2 seed dispatched Chao Yi Wang 11-7, 11-3 in the Women’s Singles final—a result that was emphatic from the very first exchange. Dennehy’s precision at the baseline and court coverage left Wang with nowhere to go, the American’s game unravelled by an opponent who simply played better in every phase when it mattered most. It was Dennehy’s second straight win over Wang in a mainland China final, following her 11-7, 11-2 victory in Hangzhou last December.
She was not done. In Women’s Doubles alongside Yufei Long, Dennehy completed a brilliant double-gold weekend by beating Aiko Yoshitomi and Wang 11-7, 11-9 on Championship Court. Two finals. Two golds. A complete week from the Australian.
The Women’s Singles bronze went to Long after a three-game battle—beating Lingwei Kong 11-7, 8-11, 11-7 in a match that ebbed and flowed before Long steadied in the decider. The Women’s Doubles bronze went to Xiao Yi Wang-Beckvall and Nicole Tang, who beat Angel Huang and Christa Gecheva 11-9, 11-4.
Hien Truong and Quang Do Rule Men’s Doubles
The Vietnamese-American partnership of Hien Truong and Quang Do had a final answer for No. 3 seeds Kenta Miyoshi and Robert Stirling—and it came in straight games. Truong and Do won 11-9, 11-7 to claim the Men’s Doubles gold in a performance built on chemistry, sharp transitions, and the kind of court awareness that defines top-tier doubles play.
Eunggwon Kim and Hong-kit made it a remarkable day for the veteran Hong Kong star by adding a bronze alongside it—dismantling China’s Zi Li and America’s Nathan Wiseman 11-1, 11-1 in one of the most one-sided bronze medal matches the tour has seen.
Wang, Len Yang Deny Dennehy Triple Crown
Twice on the losing end to Dennehy in Women’s Singles and Women’s Doubles, Wang got the last laugh as she teamed up with Len Yang to beat the pair of Dennehy and Jonathan Wild. Wang and Yang’s 11-7, 11-6 win denied the amazing Australian a Triple Crown and put an emphatic end to the tournament.
The Mixed Doubles bronze medal match opened the day’s televised broadcast and set a high standard from the first point. Hong Kong’s Nicole Tang and South Korea’s Kim Eunggwon combined for a 11-7, 11-8 win over Chinese local pair Kwok Man and Chen Ma, their superior transition play and sharper dinking exchanges too much for the home side to handle.
The Beijing Open delivered on every front—world-class competition, packed draws, and a Championship Sunday worthy of the PPA Tour Asia’s first historic visit to the Chinese capital. The circuit moves on. The memories stay in Beijing.
