HONG KONG, November 19, 2024 (Press Release)
The Hong Kong, China Tennis Association (“HKCTA”) announced today that the Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open (“BOCHKTO”) 2025 is set to take place from 29 December 2024 to 5 January 2025 at the Victoria Park Tennis Stadium. Ticket sales will begin on 20 November. Bank of China (Hong Kong) (“BOCHK”) not only returns as the title sponsor of the ATP 250 Hong Kong Tennis Open but has also become the Lead Partner of HKCTA to work together to promote the development of tennis in Hong Kong.
BOCHKTO is an ATP 250 event offering a total prize money exceeding US$730,000. Last year’s singles champion Andrey Rublev has confirmed his return to defend his title alongside Chinese mainland rising star Shang Juncheng, and Hong Kong No. 1 Coleman Wong Chak-lam. HKCTA and BOCHK will once again bring a world-class international men’s tennis event to fans in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, and beyond.
As the Lead Partner of HKCTA, BOCHK is the title sponsor for a number of local leagues and the Hong Kong stops of the ITF Men’s World Tennis Tour organised by HKCTA. These tournaments will offer local players more opportunities to hone their skills against international players, gain valuable match experience, thereby elevating tennis standards locally as well as promoting and cultivating tennis in Hong Kong.
HKCTA President Michael Cheng said: “We are very grateful to BOCHK for their support of Hong Kong tennis and continued commitment to ATP 250 Hong Kong Tennis Open. As the title sponsor and HKCTA’s Lead Partner, BOCHK not only promotes the ‘Tennis-for-All’ vision, but also helps develop our tennis players to become elite of the sport, and to encourage adults and kids alike to get involved in tennis. We will continue to collaborate to bring bigger and better opportunities in training and competition. We look forward to welcoming more fans and spectators to this year’s BOCHKTO as they cheer on their favourite players.”
Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of BOCHK Sun Yu commented: “BOCHK is delighted to sponsor the ATP 250, a marquee international sports event once again, and become the Lead Partner of HKCTA. This ATP tournament will serve as a platform for sporting excellence, bring fans from around the world together through a mutual love for tennis, and showcase our city as a vibrant hub for international events. BOCHK has long been committed to promoting sports development in Hong Kong. In addition to the ATP Tour event, we sponsor other local tennis and sports events in order to promote the sustainable development of sports activities in Hong Kong, and a healthy lifestyle in the community. After the tremendous success of last year’s tournament, we eagerly look forward to seeing the world’s top players shine on the court in Hong Kong once again with tennis fans revel in the thrill of the tournament.”
