Alix Truong Takes Silver in Virginia Beach, Then Heads to Hong Kong Slam
Andrew LeeAlix Truong came home from the PPA Virginia Beach Open with a silver medal, and she is already on her way to Hong Kong.
The Vietnamese player and her partner, Layne Sleeth, lost the final on Sunday 18 Oct to Catherine Parenteau and Sofia Sewing, 11-8, 11-6, according to The Dink. The same report notes it was the first final the pair had played together.
Truong called it "my second @ppatour US final" in her own post. She said she was proud of "us battling through the elements this week," and the weather had already shown up a day earlier. On 17 Oct she wrote "Oh VA weather, haven't missed it" and tagged PPA Tour, with the word "semis" in her caption and a rain delay in the hashtags.

The same silver-medal post ends with a travel line: "Straight into @ppatourasia Hong Kong Slam!" It is a short turnaround. The Slam runs 19 to 25 Oct, and PPA Tour Asia has billed it as its first-ever Slam, with up to US$1.1 million in Pro prize money and 1,500 PPA Ranking points on offer, per PPA Tour Asia's calendar announcement.
Her Hong Kong results were not available when this was written.
