Teddy Wong’s Dumplings & Wine has entered into a Name, Image, and Likeness partnership with Duncan Chan, a standout athlete on the TCU Men’s Tennis team. The partnership represents a shared commitment to discipline, consistency, and excellence, values that define both Chan’s approach on the court and the restaurant’s philosophy at the table.
Owned by Chef-Partner Patrick Ru and Lori and Kevin Cates, Teddy Wong’s has long supported local athletics and followed TCU Tennis. The restaurant’s owners noted that the precision, endurance, and quiet intensity of tennis closely mirror the standards guiding their kitchen and hospitality. ‘Tennis has always been a sport we admire for its discipline and focus,’ said Chef-Partner Patrick Ru and Kevin Cates. ‘Duncan embodies those qualities. He’s thoughtful, hardworking, and deeply committed to improving his craft — values we respect and are proud to support.’
Chan, originally from Canada, has quickly made his mark at TCU through his work ethic, competitive drive, and steady progress on the court. He and his teammates are frequent guests at the restaurant, creating what the announcement describes as an authentic connection between Teddy Wong’s and the Horned Frogs tennis community. ‘I’m grateful for the support from Teddy Wong’s,’ said Chan. ‘It means a lot to partner with a restaurant that values dedication and growth the way TCU Tennis does. Their support motivates me to keep pushing forward.’
The NIL partnership reflects Teddy Wong’s broader commitment to investing in young talent and supporting the Fort Worth community that has embraced the restaurant since its founding. As Chan continues to build momentum in his collegiate career, the restaurant expressed pride in standing alongside him and supporting his journey both on and off the court. The partnership demonstrates how local businesses can leverage NIL opportunities to support collegiate athletes while aligning with shared values of craftsmanship and excellence.
