As visionary and Chair Emeritus of the Riviera Women’s All-American Tennis Championships, Frederick Ho continues to play a vital role in its success. Originally from Hong Kong, China (b. 1938), Ho won several local championships and represented his city in the Inter-Port Competition against Macau, winning every singles and doubles match. In 1960, he moved to California to attend Chaffey Community College. Turning down a full tennis scholarship at the University of California at Riverside, Ho chose to attend Stanford on a full academic scholarship in preparation for attending medical school at the University of Nebraska.

As a Board Certified Physician of Adult and Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, and an Assistant Clinical Professor in Pediatrics at USC, other than Riviera Club tournaments, Ho no longer competes. Staying involved in tennis, he has helped raise $1.5 million for women’s collegiate tennis and served on several tennis boards and committees. Firmly connected to tennis in Pacific Palisades, Ho toured the world various times attending tennis majors, including: the US Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, the Australian Open, the ATP Year-End Championship in Shanghai, the Italian Open, the Swiss Open and the Monte Carlo Open.
