21-year-old lands back in Hong Kong on Monday and immediately turns attention to World Group II encounter with Uzbekistan

Coleman Wong Chak-lam returned to Hong Kong on Monday with the adulation of fans at the US Open still ringing in his ears, and said he hoped to build on his momentum for the city’s Davis Cup clash with Uzbekistan this month.

As he was in New York, Wong and his teammates will be underdogs against their seeded opponents, but the 21-year-old, whose world ranking is expected to jump considerably this week, said he had learned plenty of lessons from his historic run at Flushing Meadows.

Defeat in the third round to Andrey Rublev, the world No 15, marked a series of firsts for Wong, not least of which was his first experience of going a full five sets.
