Top seed Tiffany Ho fought back from a game down to beat second seed Louisa Ma and win the Victorian Open badminton women’s singles title on Sunday.

But her bid for a double celebration was thwarted in the women’s doubles by the powerful pair of Joyce Choong and Gronya Somerville in straight games.

Somerville had earlier combined with Kenneth Choo to take the mixed doubles title for the loss of only 18 points.

Choo also picked up a second title later in the afternoon when he and Ming Chuen Lim won the men’s doubles crown.

Meanwhile, second seed Jacob Karl Schueler knocked over men’s singles top seed Nathan Tang in three games, 16-21, 21-9, 21-11.

In the under-15s junior state championships on Saturday, top seed Smrithi Adepu won her final in straight sets over underdog Kaitlyn Rodrigues.

In the boys, Victorian junior state performance program member Christopher Go, comfortably pulled clear of challenger Tianyi Zeng in the gold medal match.
