Hong Kong's No. 1 tennis player, Coleman Wong, joins Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy as ambassador

Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy (HKGTA) announced on Friday that they also invited Coleman Wong, the top-ranked local rising star in men's tennis singles in Hong Kong, to join HKGTA

This announcement came on the same day as their collaboration with Humansa, a high-quality health and wellness organization under the New World Group.

Wong who is currently undergoing training at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Spain, will be joining HKGTA and, in the coming days, will participate in a series of activities with his fellow junior players who are currently training at HKGTA, contributing to the development of tennis in Hong Kong while nurturing the next generation of tennis players.

Humansa will optimize Coleman’s wellbeing and body condition through best-in-class medical and fitness programs with professional, multi-disciplinary practitioners, assisting him to achieve the next level of success for Hong Kong. 

After the signing ceremony, Wong immediately engaged in friendly matches with four young junior players, including Vienna Lai Ching-laam, who is currently ranked first in the Hong Kong U18 Girls’ Singles, and Walter Tam Sin-hang, who is ranked third in the U16 Boys’ Singles.

Both players were recipients of full tennis scholarships from the "Building A Champion Scholarship 2022," jointly organized by HKGTA and the Rafa Nadal Tennis Center.

Wong expressed his gratitude for New World Development Company Limited’s support for tennis development in Hong Kong.

And as an ambassador, he will participate in various activities to assist his fellow junior players at HKGTA in improving their skills.

He said that the junior players reminded him of his childhood and hoped that through training and exchanges with them in the coming year, along with sharing his experience on the international stage, they could strengthen their mental resilience in competitions and better prepare themselves for future ATP and WTA events.

He added that, with hard work, they have the potential to become Hong Kong’s tennis stars of the future.
