We are therefore delighted to welcome Coleman Wong, who embodies the future of Hong Kong tennis, as he faces world-class rivals on home ground. Together with his enthusiastic Hong Kong fans, we hope he will enjoy experiencing every second of the speed, passion, and tradition-shattering action that makes the UTS such a special tournament!”

Their enthusiastic backing will be the ace up my sleeve against the world’s top players. I will be giving my all to showcase to the world Hong Kong’s outstanding tennis potential.”
