The 17-year-old Huang Zelin won the junior men’s doubles at the US Open last year, becoming the first Grand Slam winner in this category in Hong Kong, and will compete for the Grand Slam title at the Australian Open today. He played against Jasika Amor in the first round of the men’s singles in the youth group. He took the lead against his opponent “Piedan” in the first set, and then swept the opponent with a set score of 6:2. It only took 56 minutes to go straight to the top 32, and he took the No. 12 seed on Tuesday. Played as Togan Tokac of Turkish nationality.
Huang Zelin has been unstoppable in recent years. He won his first adult men’s doubles title in Spain while preparing for the Australian Open. He also won the men’s doubles runner-up in a warm-up match in Australia last week. However, he was still young and said with a smile that he was a little nervous today, “I will be a little nervous when I play against the Australian team in the first game, but there are many Hong Kong people cheering for me at the scene, and it feels good.”
He will team up with his American partner Bruno Kuzuhara tomorrow to take the second seed in the men’s doubles against Togan Tokac and his Cypriot partner, and compete for the second round.
