Jessica YangFinal day at the Hong Kong Open Jr Championships 2005 saw eighth-seeded Bai Yan of China capture the Boys' Singles title when he defeated No. 2 seed, Simon Childs, of England, 6-2, 6-4, while top seed Jessica Yang won the Girls' Singles crown when she put forth a controlled display to thwart No. 2 seed, Lutfiana-Aris Budiharto, of Indonesia in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4.

Bai Yan then completed the 'double' when he partnered compatriot Jiang Chuan to win the Boys' Doubles by defeating No. 1 seeds, Zhou Zhuo-Qing & Yin Xiao-Long, 6-4, 6-4, in an all-Chinese final.

The Girls' Doubles final was played earlier on Friday when No. 3 seeds Guo Xuan-Yu & Zhou Yi-Miao defeated fellow Chinese pair Liu Meng & Liu Chang, 6-3, 6-4, to lift the title.

Bai YanThe 16-year-old Bai Yan, who was competing in just his third career tournament on the ITF World Junior Circuit after having reached the round of sixteens at both the G2 China Junior I and G3 China Junior II, became the first player since Arun Prakash Rajagopalan of India in 2003 to bag both the Boys' Singles and Doubles title at the HKOJC.

Last but not least, a very commendable effort indeed by 14-year-old Ryan Cheung, who together with doubles partner, Gilbert Wong, went all the way to the Boys' Doubles semifinals before falling to eventual champions, Bai Yan & Jiang Chuan, in three sets 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-1.
