Ho Tze Lok
Description
The Hongkonger broke into the world’s top 25 for the first time in 2023 after joining the professional tour in 2015 and hit a career high 21 early this year. Following the retirement of former world’s top 10 player Annie Au Wing-chi and Joey Chan Ho-ling after the 2018 Asian Games, Ho is working hard on her way to become the leading player of the Hong Kong team. Her effort was once interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic as the city shut down on several times under strict social distancing measures. But Ho was not discouraged. Following the return of the Tour in early 2021, she made it to the final of the Chairman Cup, along with a semi-final appearance at the Hong Kong Football Club PSA. The Hongkonger started 2023 strongly, reaching the third round of the Tournament of Champions, before making the semis of the Cleveland Classic. She entered the Hong Kong Open later the year but was eliminated by fellow teammate Chan Sin-yuk in the opening round of the home tournament. But Ho then made it into the semi-finals of two bronze level events in early 2024, the Squash On Fire Open and Australian Open. She was also in the last 16 of the prestigious British Open in June and when the new season began in September, she advanced to the third round of the Paris Squash, a platinum event on the Tour.
