Wong advances at US Open and becomes 1st man from Hong Kong to win Open era Grand Slam singles match

At Flushing Meadows, Coleman Wong Chak-lam became the first man from Hong Kong to win a Grand Slam singles match in the Open era at the US Open.
Wong reached the main draw by winning three qualifying rounds after earlier exits and trained at the Hong Kong Sports Institute at Sha Tin before moving to Rafael Nadal's academy in Mallorca with support from fellow academy student Alexandra Eala.
Ranked 173rd, Wong defeated Aleksandar Kovacevic in straight sets, producing 38 winners and 22 aces with 31 unforced errors versus his opponent’s 47.
The victory sets up a second-round meeting with Adam Walton, Australian player, and Wong aims to maintain the mindset that helped him advance through qualifiers.
Wong's rise follows his training at Nadal's academy in Mallorca, where his close friend Alexandra Eala also made history at the US Open on Sunday.
