Coleman Wong ended Hong Kong, China’s 12-year wait for a male singles champion on the ITF World Tennis Tour after collecting his first professional singles title at M15 Monastir.

The 19-year-old, who climbed as high as No. 11 in the ITF Junior rankings last October after reaching the boys’ singles quarter-finals at Wimbledon and the semi-finals at the US Open, took another confident stride forward in his tennis development.

Wong has enjoyed a fine fortnight in Tunisia having reached back-to-back finals – first finishing runner-up to Hady Habib on 18 June before going the distance on Sunday, defeating Luca Giacomini 6-3 5-7 6-1 in the title match.

Wong is the first man from Hong Kong, China to win on the ITF World Tennis Tour since Karan Rastogi triumphed on Kazakh soil in August 2011.

Just four different men from Hong Kong, China – including Wong – have won on the ITF World Tennis Tour since 2002.

Last year, Wong was the subject of a behind-the-scenes video which contains unique and rarely seen footage of life on tour, providing insight into what it takes to be a top junior tennis player and an aspiring professional. Watch here.
