PETALING JAYA: China’s clean sweep of all five titles at the Hong Kong Open yesterday not only underlined their dominance on the international stage but also matched a feat they last achieved 13 years ago.

The highlight was men’s doubles pair Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang, who ended their title drought with a hard-fought victory over India’s Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty in the final at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Kowloon.
