Wednesday at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam went entirely to form, PPA Tour Asia reports, with every seed in every event reaching the round of 16. The nearest miss came from women's singles second seed Chao Yi Wang, who needed a 14-12 second game to get past Allyce Jones.
Christian Alshon and Noe Khlif, seeded in all three events, won every match they played. Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters began their Hong Kong campaign by beating Hannah Blatt and Grayson Goldin 11-3, 11-3 in mixed doubles.
