Hurkacz defeats Norrie to win Hong Kong Tennis Challenge

Hubert Hurkacz won the first tennis event in China in two years as he defeated Cameron Norrie 6-4 6-4 in the final of the Hong Kong Tennis Challenge.

There was an exhibition tennis event in Hong Kong over the weekend but it went largely unnoticed by the majority of the media. The event featured two native players and several ATP stars such as Norrie, Hurkacz, Fritz and Wawrinka with the Polish player winning the event in the end. Wawrinka was beaten by Wu in the quarterfinal as Norrie battled past Wong for the semi-final.

In the semi-finals they took on seeds Hurkacz and Fritz and Norrie beat Fritz in straight sets while Hurkacz took three to take down Wu. In the final, it was Hurkacz who proved better than Norrie 6-4 6-4.
