Meanwhile, in the men’s singles, two-time reigning junior champion Oscar Guo claimed his first open men’s singles title by defeating Tahiti’s Rémi Rossi. The match went to three games, and Guo had to dig deep to bring it back, ultimately denying Tahiti the opportunity to make history as no player outside of New Zealand or Australia had ever won a gold medal in the championships.
In the mixed doubles category, first seeds Simon Leung and Gronya Somerville from Australia emerged as the champions. They displayed confidence on the court and defeated their compatriots Sawan Serasinghe and Lee Yen Khoo in two games. This victory brought an end to Serasinghe’s reign as he had won the past two years with his previous partner.
In the men’s doubles, Sawan Serasinghe didn’t let the defeat in the mixed event hinder his success. He secured his fifth consecutive men’s doubles crown, this time partnering with Eric Vuong after previously winning the last four years with Matthew Chau.
