Summary
Hins Cheung (許廷鏗), Kan Mur-wah (簡慕華) and Kenny Wong Tak-bun (黃德斌) recently appeared at Olympian City as “celebrity ball friends” and took to the court for a pickleball exhibition to cheer on the Hong Kong, China team ahead of the Pickleball World Cup 2026 in Da Nang, Vietnam.
Cheung and Wong teamed up against Hong Kong team captain Jack Wong Hong-kit, the Asian men’s No. 1, and Kan in a lively match that drew constant applause and cheers from the crowd.
Cheung and Wong said they were delighted just to take one game off elite opposition, joking that their rivals had gone easy because one of them had a birthday the next day.
After their programme Company! I Want to Play Pickleball finished airing, Cheung said he still wanted a rematch and even floated the idea of a pickleball drama inspired by classic cue-sports storytelling.
