Our congratulations go to Alex Hui on finishing in 3rd place at the Australian Open Asia-Pacific Elite 14&U Trophy Tournament! The Physio Lab team is extremely proud to provide Alex with physiotherapy support focused on optimising sports performance, injury rehabilitation and injury prevention. We are celebrating his hard work and dedication to the sport, and honoured to be part of this talented young athlete’s journey.
Despite a semifinal loss against top-seeded eventual champion Kim Wonmin of Korea, Alex saved three match points in the third set super-tiebreak to beat reigning Australian Grasscourt Championships B14 winner, Lucas Han, in the playoff 4-6 6-1 [13-11] to finish third overall. The Australian Open Asia-Pacific Elite 14 & Under Trophy offers a unique opportunity for some of the Region’s leading players to experience a Grand Slam both as a player and as a spectator.
“It was a great experience to play at Australian Open Asia-Pacific 14 & Under Trophy Tournament against top players from the region. Overall, I am happy to finish in 3rd place, as I played against some tough opponents and was able to come through in a few very close battles! As coaching was allowed during the match, I was able to communicate well with Coach Ronit to understand how to strategise better during crucial moments of the match. I think I benefited from this. This week has given me a lot of motivation to work harder so I can improve and hopefully challenge the top players in the world in my age group.”
