Eudice Chong (born 22 April 1996)[1] is a professional tennis player from Hong Kong. Chong has thus far captured four singles and 28 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. In 2022, she reached career-highs in both singles and doubles when her WTA rankings peaked at No. 213 and No. 134, respectively.[2]
She embarked on a career as a full-time touring professional in June 2018 after she graduated from Division III Wesleyan University in Connecticut where she became the first player in NCAA history to win four consecutive national singles titles at any division of collegiate tennis, man or woman.[3][4]
At the World University Games in Naples, Italy, in 2019, Chong captured a bronze medal in women's singles and women's doubles. In the process, she became the first tennis player from Hong Kong to medal in singles and the first to capture two tennis medals at the same Universiade.[5]
An Elite Training Grant (ETG) recipient,[6] her training is primarily based at the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI) in Shatin. She is currently coached by former Indian Davis Cupper and 2010 Asian Games bronze medallist, Karan Rastogi, while her physical coach is Romain Deffet, former personal trainer to Li Na, Daniela Hantuchova, and Peng Shuai. In March 2019, Chong, together with fellow Fed Cup teammate, Cody Wong, were the first players selected to the EFG HKTA Tour Team, a three-year financial commitment by the EFG Young Athletes Foundation (YAF) to support local talent.[7]
She represented Hong Kong at the Asian Games (2014 and 2018), All China Games (2013, 2017 and 2021), Asian Championships (2013), World University Games (2015, 2017, and 2019), and Fed Cup (2012-2014, 2017-2019, 2022).[8][9][10][11] [12][13][14] With the global pandemic adversely impacting the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour, the latter part of 2020 saw Chong make a concerted assault on the local majors in Hong Kong. She became the first player to equal Paulette Moreno's feat of winning the ladies' singles, ladies' doubles, and mixed doubles titles simultaneously at both the CRC Open and the Hong Kong National Tennis Championships in the same calendar year, a record that had stood untouched for 36 years.[15]
