Seeded 3rd, the boys beat Chongqing in the first round and Hebei in the quarterfinals before top-seeded Jiangsu halted their progress in the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman Wong became the first player from Hong Kong to medal in singles after eventual champion Wu Yibing halted his progress in a hard-fought semifinal 6-7(6) 7-6(7) 6-4. After taking the opening set, Wong trailed Wu Yibing 6-2 in the second set tiebreak but saved four successive set points to peg the score back to an even-steven 6-6. They were all square again at 7-7 before Wu Yibing strong-armed the next two points to claim the breaker 9-7 and force a decider.<\/p>\n<p>Wu Yibing broke Wong in the opening game of the third set and played extremely well to ride that one-break advantage right until the end when he conjured a spectacular forehand winner on match point to prevail. Wong had beaten Wu twice before, first at the Asian Games in 2023 when he saved five match points from 6-1 down in the third set tiebreak to win 6-4 3-6 7-6 and then again at the ATP 250 Hangzhou Open when Wu Yibing retired hurt after conceding the first set 6-3.<\/p>\n<p>The women&#8217;s doubles pairing of Eudice Chong\/Cody Wong defeated Wang Qiang\/Zheng Saisai (Tianjin) to reach the quarterfinals before they went down against top-seeded Tang Qianhui\/Guo Hanyu (Sichuan) and came in 5th place. The men&#8217;s doubles pairing of Coleman Wong\/Kevin Wong also placed fifth after 4th-seeded eventual champions Tang Sheng\/Sun Qian (Jiangsu) bested them in the last eight.<\/p>\n<p>In women&#8217;s doubles, Wang Qiang\/Zheng Saisai (Tianjin) were serving for the first set leading 5-3, 40-0, but Eudice Chong\/Cody Wong saved four set points and broke the Tianjin pair to get back on serve. The HK duo eventually took the set in a tiebreak 7-5. Chong and Wong had the momentum and broke first in the second to go up 4-2. Now just two games away from one of their biggest wins, Wang and Zheng conjured their own service break to peg the score back to 4-3. However, Chong and Wong, were not to be denied, as they swiftly returned the favour and broke back for 5-3 before holding serve confidently to register a 7-6(5) 6-3 victory for the ages.<\/p>\n<p>It must be said that Wang Qiang and Zheng Saisai are two of China&#8217;s top players in recent memory. In women&#8217;s doubles at the National Games, Zheng Saisai won a silver in 2013 and a bronze in 2021. In women&#8217;s singles, Wang Qiang won a gold in 2017 and 2021, while Zheng Saisai was also a silver medallist in 2021. Wang Qiang also won the gold medal in singles at the 2014 and 2018 Asian Games.<\/p>\n<p>Before the emergence of Zheng Qinwen, Wang Qiang&#8217;s career-high WTA ranking of No. 12 makes her the second highest-ranked Chinese singles player in history after only Li Na, who peaked at No. 2 in the world. Zheng Saisai reached a career-high doubles ranking of No. 15 in the world and captured six WTA doubles titles. She was a doubles semifinalist at the Australian Open and a runner-up at the French Open.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this year, Hong Kong had only medalled once at the National Games back in 2001 courtesy of John Hui\/Melvin Tong&#8217;s bronze in men&#8217;s doubles. That year, the HK duo defeated No. 2 seed Jiang Shan\/Zhu Ben-Qiang in most dramatic fashion in the 3rd place playoff to cement the historic bronze.<\/p>\n<p>Team Hong Kong<\/p>\n<p>Team Manager: Steve Host<br \/>\nCoach of Men&#8217;s Team: Leo Liu<br \/>\nCoach of Women&#8217;s Team: Zhang Ling<\/p>\n<p>Men&#8217;s Singles &amp; Doubles: Coleman Wong, Kevin Wong, Nicholas Cheng, Jack Cheng, Wong Tsz Fu<\/p>\n<p>Men&#8217;s (under-20) Team: Jack Cheng, Nicholas Cheng, Walter Tam, Kai Thompson, Wong Tsz Fu<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s Singles &amp; Doubles: Eudice Chong, Justine Leong, Maggie Ng, Cody Wong, Tiffany Wu<\/p>\n<p>Women&#8217;s (under-20) Team: Rosalyn Chan, Vienna Lai, Yandy Shek, Chloe Wong, Cameron Yeung<\/p>\n<p>Performance Trainer: Romain Deffet<br \/>\nTeam Physician: Alex Ng, Freeman Kwok<\/p>\n<p>Podium Finish<br \/>\nMen&#8217;s Singles<\/p>\n<p>Gold: Wu Yibing (Zhejiang)<br \/>\nSilver: Jerry Shang (Beijing)<br \/>\nBronze: Coleman Wong (Hong Kong)<br \/>\nBronze: Zhou Yi (Guangxi)<\/p>\n<p>Men&#8217;s (under-20) Team<\/p>\n<p>Gold: Beijing<br \/>\nSilver: Jiangsu<br \/>\nBronze: Hong Kong<br \/>\nBronze: Guangxi<\/p>\n<p>Results<br \/>\n15th National Games<br \/>\nHengqin International Tennis Centre<br \/>\nZhuhai, Guangdong<br \/>\n9-20 November 2025<\/p>\n<p>Men&#8217;s Singles<\/p>\n<p>Semifinals<br \/>\n(3)Wu Yibing (Zhejiang) d.
