Ng Ka Long

Ng trained at the Hong Kong Sports Institute. He credits his father as the main influence on his career.[1]

At the 2010 BWF World Junior Championships, Guadalajara he won a bronze medal in the men's doubles. He won gold in the men's doubles in 2012 in Chiba Prefecture. He won bronze in the 2012 Asian Junior Championships men's doubles.

In 2013, Ng participated in the 2013 BWF World Championships in Guangzhou, China, was the runner-up at the Vietnam International Challenge in men's singles, and competed in the 2013 East Asian Games in Tianjin for Hong Kong, winning a silver medal in the men's singles and bronze in the men's doubles.

In 2014, Ng won the China International Challenge, Osaka International Challenge and Irish Open. He was the runner-up at the Canadian Grand Prix and the Swiss International tournaments.

In 2015, Ng won the men's singles at the Austrian Open. He later won his first Grand Prix title at the Bitburger Open. [2] He also came second at the Canadian Grand Prix and reached the semifinals at the Hong Kong Super Series, having beaten top 10 players like Lin Dan and Chou Tien Chen before losing to the legendary Lee Chong Wei.

In 2016, Ng made history by becoming the first home player to win the men's singles title at the Hong Kong Open, beating India's Sameer Verma in the final.

Ng is right-handed. His playstyle is movement pressure, playing rhythm with good control of the shuttlecock. Because his playstyle is similar to the Hong Kong female singles star "Black Girl" Ye Siyan, he was dubbed the title of "Male Black Girl" by the media in his early years.

He believes that he is not a power player, and his badminton aptitude is only mid-to-high. He must rely on acquired hard work and brainwork to win by running continuously on the court. Since he was born with weak legs and slow movement, he could not cope with overhead or net shots when he was a child. So since he was 13 years old, he has practiced four or five sets of exercises by himself after daily practice. With both legs, the problem of moving speed has been overcome by now. After the men’s singles star Lin Dan lost to Ng Ka Long at the Hong Kong Open, he also praised him for playing very well and quickly, which prevented him from exerting a lot of strength. He also pointed out that he is very outstanding among the young men’s singles players in Hong Kong. , Very good, and a native of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong team coach Liu Zhiheng believes that Angus Ng Ka-long's playstyle is similar to that of the famous Chinese player Yang Yang, but he also has his own style of play, but he is not yet mature enough for the time being. However, he believes that Angus Ng Ka-long reads well and learns quickly. He has a clear idea of how to play against his opponents, and he is very resolute in executing the coach's tactical requirements[8]. Former Hong Kong team head coach Chen Zhicai also pointed out that after Ka-long improved his skills in the front court, his shots were more threatening and his performance in front of the net was sharp.
