The Hong Kong Tennis Association are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Henry Fok Ying-tung in Beijing last week.
Dr. Fok had been a Life Patron of the Hong Kong Tennis Association for many years and was a great supporter of tennis in Hong Kong. He had been the title sponsor of the very popular Corporate Patrons League for 14 years and we would often see him on the courts competing for his company during this event. |

In 1994, Dr. Fok was honoured by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) with an award for "Services to the Game of Tennis” an award shared by such greats in the game as Jack Kramer and Iven Lendl.
Dr Fok will be sadly missed by the Hong Kong Tennis Association Council and all tennis players in Hong Kong who have directly or indirectly benefited from his generosity towards the sport that he so enjoyed.
You can also express your sympathy to the family of Dr. Fok and share your experiences of this great man by adding a message to the "In Memory of Dr. Henry Fok" column.
