The Draw Ceremony for WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025 has confirmed the paths in Women’s Singles, Men’s Singles and Mixed Doubles, shifting the conversation from who’s in to who meets whom when it matters most. Defending champions Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu joined the proceedings alongside Simon Gauzy and Joo Cheonhui, and Hong Kong, China’s Doo Hoi Kem and Wong Chun Ting—an apt home welcome for the week the sport has been building toward all year.
In Women’s Singles, World No.1 Sun Yingsha opens against Wang Yidi in a first-round face-off that would headline any week; Sun leads their WTT head-to-head, that includes a 4–3 quarterfinal at China Smash this season, but Wang has the tools to turn the narrative. In an all-Japanese test: Mima Ito and Miyu Nagasaki meet for the first time since 2018. Also in the half, rising force Kuai Man draws Hina Hayata, fresh from her WTT Champions title in Frankfurt, while a Satsuki Odo vs Honoka Hashimoto meeting adds a stylistic duel to the opening rounds. On the other side, WTT Finals defending champion Wang Manyu starts against the standout Miwa Harimoto in a China Smash quarterfinals rematch, while Zhu Yuling meets Chen Yi in a rematch of the US Smash 2025 final, part of Zhu’s 3–0 head-to-head this season.
In the Men’s Singles draw, World No.1 and defending champion Wang Chuqin draws Sora Matsushima first—two prior meetings have gone the distance, and with Matsushima newly crowned at WTT Champions Frankfurt, the tempo in Hong Kong lifts immediately. The draw also sees an all-Scandinavian opener between Truls Moregard vs Anders Lind, and the craft of Lin Yun-Ju, who opens against Benedikt Duda. In the opposite half, Felix Lebrun and Hugo Calderano renew a rivalry five months removed from their WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2025 title match. The section also holds the second seed Lin Shidong vs Liang Jingkun, a rematch of the Singapore Smash 2025 final that went Lin’s way; could Hong Kong offer the chance to flip that result? Additional intrigue lands with Simon Gauzy drawing Tomokazu Harimoto, a matchup that absolutely cannot be missed.
History is made in Mixed Doubles, with the first-ever WTT Finals draw for the discipline. Group 1 is headlined by the top seeds Lin Shidong / Kuai Man and the host wildcard duo Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha—a pair that just lifted the China Smash crown—joined by Hong Kong, China’s own Wong Chun Ting / Doo Hoi Kem and the fast-improving Manush Shah / Diya Chitale. Group 2 installs Lim Jonghoon / Shin Yubin as the second seed anchors alongside Sora Matsushima / Miwa Harimoto; the disruptive pairing of Hugo Calderano / Bruna Takahashi and the in-form Alvaro Robles / Maria Xiao round out a pool built for fine margins.
