Hart, Brown top mixed doubles qualifier at Singapore Open 2026
Hart and Brown edged a four-way tie on two wins in Singapore, finishing with a 27 PD% and the best launch into mixed doubles.
Kaitlynn Hart and Harrison Brown finished first in the pro mixed doubles qualifier at the PPA Asia 500 Leapmotor Singapore Open 2026, but the table was tight enough that point differential, not wins, decided the order. Four teams ended on two wins apiece across four rounds, and Hart and Brown had the best separation at 27 PD%.
Hart of Gold Coast, ACT, and Brown of Gold Coast, Queensland, stayed just ahead of Kwan Wun Man of Hong Kong and Chenyuan Ma, who also finished on two wins and a 25 PD%. Ting Wen Wang of Taipei and Dustin Wang were third with two wins and a 15 PD%, while Tayah Cross of Surfers Paradise, Queensland, and Zachary Grabovic of Southbank, Victoria, placed fourth at 7. NGOCSI, marked SG, and Matthew Sah of San Diego, California, rounded out the top five, giving the qualifier an unmistakably international look.
That spread matched the setting in Singapore, where the Open was staged July 23-26 at The Sports Arena @ EXPO, Singapore Expo Hall 10. The tournament was the first Asia 500 stop in Singapore and the sixth event on PPA Tour Asia’s 10-stop calendar, putting the mixed doubles qualifier into a larger weekend that also featured men’s and women’s singles, doubles and mixed doubles for professional and amateur players.
Hart and Brown’s numbers made them the cleanest early read in the field. Their 27 PD% was not a runaway mark, but it was enough to top a group where every leading pair found two wins and the margins stayed compressed from first through fourth. Kwan and Ma were close behind, and Wang-Wang were still in striking distance, which points to a bracket that was competitive from the start rather than split between clear favorites and the rest.
Singapore’s presence was smaller in the table, but NGOCSI and Sah’s fifth-place finish gave the host market a foothold in a draw that otherwise stretched across Australia, Hong Kong, Taipei and the United States. In a first Asia 500 event for Singapore, that mix of locations is the story as much as the standings themselves: Hart and Brown may be leading qualifying, but the field behind them already looks capable of forcing problems when the main draw settles in.
