HONG KONG – Canadian tennis player Gabriel Diallo was eliminated in the second round of the Hong Kong Open on Wednesday after he was upset 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 by local wildcard Coleman Wong.
Montreal’s Diallo, who was seeded sixth at the ATP 250 event, won 81 per cent of first-serve points and didn’t face break point while breaking Wong twice in a dominant first set.
Wong recovered and outperformed Diallo two breaks to one in each of the next two sets.
Diallo opened the tournament with a 6-4, 7-6 (7) win over Jesper de Jong of the Netherlands on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Diallo is coming off a breakout season on the ATP Tour.
He won his first title in 2025 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 33 before ending the year at No. 41.
