Leong Jun Hao ready to face challenges at Japan Open 2025

Malaysian singles player Leong Jun Hao will begin his journey at Japan Open 2025 facing defending champion from France, Alex Lanier.

Despite being ranked outside the world’s top 20, Leong poses a serious threat — especially after recording a positive record against Indonesian player Jonatan Christie with 3 wins against 2 losses.

Leong’s recent achievements include victory over Jonatan at Singapore Open 2025 last month with a score of 16-21, 19-21 — a match that marked Jonatan’s debut as a non-national team player.

At Japan Open 2025, Leong could potentially face Indonesian representative Alwi Farhan — if both advance to the tournament’s round of 16.
