Leung Chi Hin Henry
Description
Leung was a double bronze medal winner in both the individual and team event at the 2023 Asian Games. He first broke into the world’s top 100 in 2019 and has since proven to be a consistent performer and winner on the Challenger Tour. In September, he reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Nash Cup, a copper level tournament in Canada but lost to second seed and world No. 35 Curtis Malik of England over three games. The two players, in fact, met in the same tournament before when Malik also beat Leung 3-2 in the semi-finals two years ago. Early this year, Leung reached the last eight in the 2024 Australian Open in Sydney, a bronze level tournament, and was stopped by Sebastien Bonmalais of France following a 3-0 defeat. The majority of his early career came on the Malaysian Tour from 2015 to 2018, with Leung securing his first win at the 2018 Beijing Challenge. He claimed a further three titles within his next eight events. Leung then started 2019 in the perfect manner with a win at the Contrex Challenge, before lifting the Atlanta Open as well, the biggest victory of his career to date. Another victory came at the 2020 Auckland Open, in what was his last appearance on the Tour prior to the enforced six-month suspension due to Covid-19 pandemic.
