Very small turn out due to this being a new tournament introduced just this fall. It will be hosted at the gym that hosted the previous US Open GPG tournaments at OCBC.

Two interesting QF ties, Zulkiffli v Sitthikom and Cwalina/Wacha against reigning WJ Champion Dechapol/Kittinupong. Home couple, Tony/Eti Gunawan will get tough challenge, top-seed Schwenger/Nelte.

 

[CLELY]

As predicted, both Hsu Jen Hao and Zhang Beiwen cruised to finale, they will meet veteran Czech player Petr Koukal and Canadian young talent Rachel Honderich respectively.

Three first seeds fulfilled their top billing to win title in this first ever US GP, Hsu JH, Zhang BW and Cwalina/Wacha. Double disappointment for home player Eva Lee as she lost in two categories, WD & XD. Five titles for Zhang BW in this year, 1 GPG, 3 GP and 1 IC.
