- Duo continue preparations in Nottingham, as they look to preserve the sport’s Tier-A status at Hong Kong Sports Institute with a medal in Hangzhou

Tennis pair Eudice Chong and Cody Wong Hong-yi began their quest for a seventh doubles title in 2022 on Wednesday at the ITF W25 tournament in Nottingham.
The duo are continuing their preparations for medal tilt at September’s Asian Games in Hangzhou, as they look to help the sport preserve its elite status at the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI).
After nearly 18 months of Covid-19 restrictions and closed-camp training at the HKSI, the duo returned to the tour last October, and have teamed up for 13 events, winning 9 titles.
Six of those have come this year, including two in a row in March in Egypt and South Africa, with their most recent coming in Nottingham last month.
“To be honest, we have partnered for so many tournaments mainly for the Asian Games, as we know we have a mission to achieve there,” said 26-year-old Chong, who is the Hong Kong No 1 in singles and doubles.
