After four years at UC Irvine, Man-Son-Hing joined the professional circuit.[2]

He competed in the men's doubles at all four Grand Slam events in 1989, partnering with John Letts.[3] They made the second round of the Australian Open and Wimbledon Championships.[3] He also appeared in the mixed doubles draw at the French Open (with Camille Benjamin) and Wimbledon (with Cynthia MacGregor) but was unable to progress past the first round at either.[4]
