Why It Matters
Coleman Wong previously defeated Wu Yibing in the third round of the Asian Games tennis competition in Hangzhou three years ago.
Hong Kong tennis star Coleman Wong Chak-lam beat China’s Wu Yibing in straight sets to claim a historic Asian Games gold on Saturday.
The 22-year-old became the first man from the city to win a tennis medal at a Games, and earned a place in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in the process.
Wong needed little more than 90 minutes to win 6-2, 6-4, and is starting to make a habit of beating Wu at the Games, having done so in the third round in Hangzhou three years ago.
Still, the Hongkonger was on the wrong end of a three-set loss in the semi-finals of the National Games in November, and neither player ever normally wins easily.
