Alex Lau is one of the top players of Hong Kong who he has captured six titles from 14 finals so far and a member of the team that clinched a bronze medal at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou. He achieved a career high of world number 40 in November last year, one place better than his previous best ranking when he reached the second round of the 2023 British Open in June. Lau has been in the top 50 since February 2023. The Hong Kong player made his Tour debut in 2013 and his latest title came in the summer of 2022 when he was named the men’s award for PSA Challenger Tour Player of the Month with back-to-back victories at the Tasmanian Open and Bega Open, both in Australia. His first victory came at the Amir Kabir Open in 2016 when he beat Bernat Jaume of Spain in the final. He had to stop from playing in March 2020 after an enforced suspension of competitions due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic. Lau returned to the Tour one year later and immediately reached the final in two Challenge Tour events. After his successive victories in Australia in 2022, he also reached another two Challenge Tour finals this year in the Manitoba Open and Tuanku Muhriz Trophy.
