Teddy Wong's Dumplings & Wine, a Fort Worth restaurant known for refined Chinese cuisine, has announced an official Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnership with Duncan Chan, a standout athlete on the TCU Men's Tennis team. The announcement, made on January 9, 2026, underscores the restaurant's commitment to supporting local athletics and investing in young talent.
The partnership reflects a mutual appreciation for discipline, consistency, and excellence — values that define Chan's approach on the court and the restaurant's philosophy in the kitchen. Owned by Chef-Partner Patrick Ru and Lori and Kevin Cates, Teddy Wong's has long been a supporter of TCU Tennis, admiring the precision, endurance, and quiet intensity of the sport. "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."
Originally from Canada, Chan has quickly made his mark at TCU through his work ethic and competitive drive. He and his teammates are frequent guests at Teddy Wong's, creating 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."
The NIL partnership is part of Teddy Wong's broader commitment to the Fort Worth community. As Chan continues to build momentum in his collegiate career, the restaurant is proud to support his journey both on and off the court.
