The PPA Tour Asia's Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam at Kai Tak Arena crowned the same two singles champions as Brisbane a week earlier, and handed Ben Johns and Gabe Tardio another men's doubles loss.

## The finals

- **Men's singles:** Hunter Johnson def. Tama Shimabukuro, 11-4, 6-11, 11-7
- **Women's singles:** Andie Dikosavljevic def. Judit Castillo, 11-1, 11-5
- **Men's doubles:** Hayden Patriquin/Federico Staksrud def. Ben Johns/Gabe Tardio, 11-6, 11-8

- **Mixed doubles:** Ben Johns/Anna Leigh Waters def. Anna Bright/Hayden Patriquin, 11-4, 11-3

## What stood out

**Johnson's fourth.** His fourth singles gold since September, and his second in a row after Brisbane. Shimabukuro took a game off him but not the title.

**Dikosavljevic again.** The Brisbane-based Australian followed her home title with a dominant final against Castillo, the same opponent she beat in Brisbane.

**A new men's doubles power.** Patriquin and Staksrud followed their Chicago title with a straight-games win over Johns and Tardio.

**Waters and Johns reassert.** The mixed final was a statement: 11-4, 11-3 over the team that beat them in Las Vegas.
