(November 11, 2025, Hong Kong) In the semi-final of the Youth Men\u2019s Team event at the National Games, Team Hong Kong faced Jiangsu in a hard-fought contest. In the first singles match, Hong Kong\u2019s Jack Cheng was defeated by Chris Xu in straight sets, 0\u20136, 1\u20136.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second singles match, Hong Kong\u2019s Nicholas Cheng took on Hu Jia of Jiangsu. After dropping the first set, Cheng rallied to take the second 6\u20133, leveling the match at one set apiece. He eventually fell short in the deciding set, narrowly losing 4\u20136, resulting in a 1\u20132 defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an overall score of 0\u20132, Team Hong Kong concluded their semi-final campaign against Jiangsu. However, the team secured a historic bronze medal \u2014 Hong Kong\u2019s first-ever medal in a tennis team event at the National Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough there was a significant difference in strength in the first match, Jack gave his best,\u201d said Coach Leo Liu after the match. \u201cIn the second match, Nicholas battled for nearly two and a half hours and narrowly lost in the final set. All our players gave their utmost and performed to their full potential. Winning a medal in the Youth Men\u2019s Team event is a major breakthrough and a significant boost for tennis in Hong Kong. Achieving this result in such a high-level national competition is no easy feat \u2014 we will continue to strive forward.\u201d

\u201cI\u2019m very happy to have won our first medal in the tennis team event together with the entire team. We all put in a lot of effort,\u201d said James Wong Tsz Fu. \u201cAlthough the bronze wasn\u2019t the result we were aiming for, I\u2019m still proud to have earned a medal for Hong Kong tennis. Looking ahead to the upcoming Men\u2019s Singles event, I\u2019ll give it everything I\u2019ve got. I won\u2019t overthink it and I\u2019ll just keep going and hope to win another medal for Hong Kong.\u201d

The Hong Kong team will next compete in the first round of the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s singles
