Teddy Wong's Dumplings & Wine, a Fort Worth destination restaurant, has officially entered into a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnership with Duncan Chan, a rising standout on the TCU Men's Tennis team. The announcement was made on January 9, 2026.
The partnership underscores a mutual commitment to discipline, consistency, and excellence—qualities that define Chan's approach on the court and the restaurant's philosophy in the kitchen. Co-owned by Chef-Partner Patrick Ru and Lori and Kevin Cates, Teddy Wong's has long supported local athletics, particularly TCU Tennis, whose precision and endurance align with the restaurant's standards.
"Tennis has always been a sport we admire for its discipline and focus," said Chef-Partner Patrick Ru and Kevin Cates in a joint statement. "Duncan embodies those qualities. He's thoughtful, hardworking, and deeply committed to improving his craft—values we respect and are proud to support."
Originally from Canada, Chan has quickly made his mark at TCU through his work ethic and steady progress. He and his teammates are frequent guests at Teddy Wong's, fostering an authentic connection between the restaurant 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."
This NIL partnership reflects Teddy Wong's broader commitment to investing in young talent and supporting the Fort Worth community. As Chan continues his collegiate career, Teddy Wong's is proud to support his journey both on and off the court.
