Thousands of tennis fans soaked up the on-court action as the Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open got under way in late October. But in the lead-up to the tournament, legends of the sport served their own aces off the court during a special event aimed at inspiring and nurturing young talent.
The Prudential NextGen Aces event put a spotlight on the resilience, discipline and mindset required for elite athletes and business executives to reach the top of their respective games. It was presented as a complement to the tennis tournament, which the insurer has been supporting for more than a decade.
The event’s line-up of speakers included Aryna Sabalenka, the current Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) world No 1 player who has won four major tournaments so far in her career, and Andre Agassi, the former world No 1 men’s player who holds eight major tournament titles. They were joined by Vivian Kong, Hong Kong’s Olympic gold medal-winning fencer, and Prudential executives in two discussion sessions that explored the lessons learned on the journey to career success.
