Making Progress Continuosly - Leong Weng Si

Leong Weng Si, aged 17, was the only Macao female youth athlete admitted to ITF, ranked the 2886th on the list. Seven years ago, she joined the Talent Selection Day accompanied by her family. Since then, she has started her tennis career. 

Leong Weng Si has joined the Macao Tennis Team for four years. Her most unforgettable experience is participating in the National Games on behalf of Macao in 2017. At that time, her opponents were all top athletes selected from different provinces and cities around the country. She was eliminated in the preliminary rounds. As such, she realized from this experience the gap between herself and others. Meanwhile, this experience also inspired her, as she learned that she should remain persistent and encounter challenges with all her effort, however strong her opponents may be. 

In December 2018, at the“Macau ITF Junior Championship- ITF Junior Circuit”, Leong Weng Si collaborated with a Russian contestant, breaking into the best eight in the double event. She earned some points and was admitted to the ITF Junior Rankings(Girls). Currently, she keeps practicing five to six times a week. She believes that she has to improve her mental endurance. When it comes to skills, she also needs to improve her tennis volley and be familiar with a greater variety of ball trajectories. 

In future, she will proceed to competing in Hong Kong ITF Junior Tournament, expecting that she can further increase her ranking among other world best individual players.
