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. |

 En route to the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai with his partner Jela, ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti passed through town earlier this week and took the opportunity to meet up with HKTA representatives to update the territory on new developments of the game while, at the same time, the Association's Executive Council members discussed with him current programmes and future plans of the HKTA. For good measure, overall views about tennis on a global scale, in the Asian region as a whole, and in Hong Kong were liberally exchanged.

HKTA General Manager, Mrs. Janet Hardisty, took the opportunity to meet up with her, and to find out just exactly what she had been up to since she left the territory.

 All in all, it's been a pretty positive week for Hong Kong tennis these past seven days, as witnessed by the Davis Cup team's bulldozing effort at the regional playoffs at Victoria Park in addition to several junior representatives, who were also making a fine name for the territory by wining tournaments in Thailand, and as far ashore as Syria over the weekend.
Sixteen year-old Venise Chan captured both the Girls' Singles and Doubles titles at the ITF Grade 4 Mouhafaza Club International Junior Tournament in Damascus, while Ronald Chow and Jessica Yang took home the Boys' and Girls' Singles respectively at the Grade 4 Mercedes Cup in Bangkok to hoist the Bauhinia flag simultaneously on two continents in the midst of international competition.
