Hong Kong Ladies Tennis League
September 2020
Dear Ladies
On behalf of the HKLTL Committee I am pleased to welcome back our returning teams and
extend a warm welcome to our new teams.
As I write this, we are going through the Covid-19 pandemic, there is political unrest in Hong
Kong and protests are raging throughout America. I can only hope that by the time you are
reading this there is a sense of calm and stability in our world.
We had a rather difficult season last year. The Hong Kong protests disrupted the Fall season,
and the Covid 19 completely wiped out the Spring. We missed playing tennis and were un-
able to have our annual end of season luncheon and award ceremony. I’m just so happy that,
to my knowledge, our extended tennis community managed to stay safe and healthy. And
while we were unable to play the full year, we did decide to promote winning teams from
each division.
Congratulations to our 2019/2020 winners!
Premier- HLY
Division 1- Tai Po
Division 2- HLY
Division 3- Parkview Attitude
Divison 4- LRC Hot Shots
Divison 5- CWB Diamonds
Well done to these teams and to all the teams who played.
I would like to welcome our new Committee Members to our team. Priscilla Pang is our new
Div 5 Rep and Isabelle Costemale is our new Secretary.
I usually like to end my letter with an inspirational quote. Something to pump us up and
motivate us to play better. But after these past few months, I think Rafa says it best:
It’s only a tennis match.
At the end, that’s life.
There is (sic) much more important things.
Keep a booklet on court at all times and don’t forget to check out our website- www.hkladi-
estennis.com. Send us your photos during the season so we can upload them.
Have a great season ladies. Play well and play fair.
Warm regards
ZoeLynne Sursock
