Eudice Chong (born 22 April 1996)Original ITF profile is a professional tennis player from Hong Kong.
She reached her career-high WTA rankings of No. 213 in singles and No. 57 in doubles on 26 December 2022 and 27 July 2026, respectively. Chong was the first tennis player from Hong Kong to win a doubles title in the WTA tour, and the second tennis player to rank inside top 100 of the world, since Patricia Hy-Boulais in 1987.
Chong has won six singles and 38 doubles titles, including one in WTA 250 tournaments, three in WTA 125 tournaments and 34 on the ITF Circuit. She held the record of having the most titles among Hong Kong players.
Chong partnered with Veronika Erjavec and reached the third round at the 2026 French Open, which is the best ever result for Hong Kong players in the French Open. She also partnered with Anastasia Tikhonova and reached the second round at the 2026 Wimbledon, which is also the best ever result for Hong Kong players in the Wimbledon during the Open era.
She represented Hong Kong at the Asian Games (2014, 2018, 2023 and 2026), All China Games (2013, 2017, 2021 and 2025), Asian Championships (2013), World University Games (2015, 2017, and 2019), and Fed Cup (2012-2014, 2017-2019, 2022, 2024-2025).
Juniors She started competing in Junior Novice competitions in fifth grade in 2006 and won the Comp 3 under-10 and Comp 4 under-12 singles before attending the Talent Group trials that earned her a selection.
She then captured the under-12 girls' singles title at the Hong Kong National Junior Tennis Championships 2008 by beating Caroline Lampl, who went on to win three NCAA championships with Stanford University.
At age 16, Chong added the Hong Kong National Junior Tennis Championships 2012 under-18 girls' singles title. In 2010 and 2011, she claimed back-to-back CRC Open 18 & Under School Girls' Open Singles Championship titles. She was selected to represent Hong Kong in the under-14 WJT events in 2010 and 2011, as well as the under-16 Junior Fed Cup competitions in 2012 and 2013. With academics being first priority, Chong competed on a limited schedule on the ITF Junior Circuit but nevertheless captured two singles and seven doubles titles and peaked at a career-high No. 200 (6 January 2014) in the world.
Collegiate years When Chong arrived in Connecticut in 2014, Wesleyan had only made it to the NCAA tournament just once in its program's 42-year history. Moreover, the school had yet to produce an individual national champion. In her freshman year, Chong defeated Joulia Likhanskaia (Bowdoin College) to win the NCAA Division III women's singles championship. In 2016, she beat Juli Raventos (Williams College) to repeat as champion. In 2017, Chong saw off the challenge of Rebecca Ho (Washington University in St. Louis) to three-peat. Then, in her senior year in 2018, she defeated Victoria Yu (Wesleyan University) to become the first player, man or woman, in NCAA tennis history to capture four straight singles titles at any division of collegiate tennis.
Chong was then named the Division III Honda Athlete of the Year. The Honda Award honors the nation's top women in collegiate sports in recognition of their superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence, and eagerness to participate in community service. Inaugurated in 1976 for Division I athletes, followed by Divisions II and III in 1988, Chong is only the third tennis player in history to receive the Honda Athlete of the Year Award accolade among all divisions.
Chong was presented with this honor at THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA) presented by Honda that was telecasted live on the CBS Sports Network on June 25, 2018 from the Founders' Room at the Galen Center on the campus of the University of Southern California in downtown Los Angeles. The honor was voted on by national balloting among 1,000 NCAA member schools as part of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards program since 1976.
She was named Division III ITA National Senior Player of the Year and finished her career at Wesleyan as the all-time leader in singles wins, in addition to her four first-team All-Americas in both singles and doubles, and three NESCAC Player of the Year honors. Chong also led her team to three consecutive NCAA tournaments from 2016 to 2018. In 2015, her freshman year, she became the first Wesleyan women's tennis player in program history to compete in the individual NCAA Championships.
All four years, she held the year-end Division III No. 1 ranking and was a four-time selection to the ITA Collegiate All-Star Team, which featured the nation's top-ranked men and women from the year-end Oracle/ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings, in addition to winners of the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships and NCAA Division I and III Championships.
Prior to Chong's exploits, Principia's Courtney Allen (1984–85), Menlo's Caroline Bodart (1988–89), Methodist's Elena Blanina (2001–02), and Emory's Mary Ellen Gordon (2003–04) were the only players to win two successive Division III women's singles titles. In Division I, Patty Fendick (Stanford, 1986–87), Lisa Raymond (Florida, 1992–93), Laura Granville (Stanford, 2000–01), Amber Liu (Stanford, 2003–04), and Nicole Gibbs (Stanford, 2012–13) were the only players who managed back-to-back singles titles.
The only player in college history with three consecutive national singles titles was Malcolm Chace in Division I where he claimed men's singles in 1893 representing Brown and again in 1894 and 1895 when he played for Yale.
At the 2017 ITA Oracle Cup (formerly the ITA National Small College Championships) at Indian Wells, Chong defeated Ysabel Gonzalez Rico (Emory) to win the Division III women's singles and then teamed up with Victoria Yu (Wesleyan) to beat Ysabel Gonzalez Rico and Bridget Harding (Emory), 6–1, 6–1, to win the Division III women's doubles. The duo then saw off NAIA champions Megan Bianco and Daniela Farfan (Keiser), 6–1, 6–2, and Division II winners Hanna Volikova and Alina Kislitskaya (Indianapolis) to win the Women's Doubles Championship, which automatically secured them a berth in the ITA Fall National Championships.
At the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships, Chong and Yu then knocked out sixth-seeded Jessie Aney and Alexa Graham (North Carolina), 6–3, 6–3, in the opening round, and then eliminated another Division I pair, Mami Adachi and Akvile Parazinskaite (Kentucky), before they were upended by Alexa Bortles and Arianne Hartono (Ole Miss), 6–2, 6–2, in the quarterfinals. Hartono, as it turned out, would go on to win the 2018 NCAA Division I singles title.
At the 2015 USTA/ITA National Small College Championships, Chong defeated Ashnaa Rao (Johns Hopkins), 6–1, 6–1, to win the Division III women's singles and then partnered teammate Victoria Yu to beat Bridget Harding and Katarina Su (Emory), 6–0, 6–1, to claim the doubles.
Chong graduated from Wesleyan University with a Psychology major and a minor in Asian Studies. A number of Division I schools, including Harvard, Dartmouth, and Georgetown showed interest in her early in the recruitment process, but her motivation to experience the unique and academically challenging college life of a small liberal arts school eventually saw her commit to Wesleyan.
Professional In June 2018, she embarked on a career as a full-time touring professional following her graduation. 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.
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 tournaments 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.
WTA Tour: Hong Kong main-draw debut, Thailand doubles finalist Chong made her debut at the 2016 Hong Kong Tennis Open when she was awarded a wildcard for the qualifying draw. With a modest WTA ranking of No. 995, she managed to come from a set down to beat 201st-ranked Shuko Aoyama, before she was ousted by No. 164 Tereza Martincová of the Czech Republic.
In 2018, now ranked No. 590, she was given a main draw wildcard and faced 145th-ranked American Christina McHale. Trailing by a break and 5–3, Chong rallied to win three games in succession to force a tiebreak, before claiming seven points in a row from 2–0 down to grab the breaker. However, the former world No. 24 made the necessary adjustments and tidied up her wayward groundstrokes to progress, 6–7, 6–2, 6–1.
She also competed in the doubles and was given a main-draw wildcard in 2016 (w/Katherine Ip) and 2018 (w/Zhang Ling) but went out in the first round to Nao Hibino / Alexandrina Naydenova and Alizé Cornet / Zheng Saisai, respectively.
In September 2024, at the WTA 250 2024 Thailand Open 2, Chong reached her first WTA Tour doubles final, partnering with Moyuka Uchijima, but lost to top seeds Anna Danilina and Irina Khromacheva in the championship match. She received a wildcard for the singles main draw at her home tournament, the 2024 Hong Kong Tennis Open but lost to Priscilla Hon.
