On January 1, Beijing time, the high-profile 2024 Tennis United Cup group stage continued, and the Chinese team, which won the first game, ushered in the Serbian team led by the world's No. 1 Djokovic, of which Zhang Zhizhen lost 0-2 to Djokovic, and Zheng Qinwen defeated Danilovic 2-0 to equalize the score.
Men's singles brother Zhang Zhizhen challenged the world No. 1
In the first game, the men's singles brother Zhang Zhizhen challenged the world No. 1 Djokovic, but in the end, due to the huge gap in strength, it took 1 hour and 12 minutes, and lost 3-6/2-6, and only won 5 games in the whole game, which shows the huge gap in strength between the two sides, but to be able to get a chance with the world No. 1, whether Xi win or lose.
Zheng Qinwen easily won 2-0 and won another 38,000 US dollars
The loss of the first men's singles put the pressure on Zheng Qinwen's body, facing the post-00 teenager Danilovic, who won the WTA Tour championship for the first time, Zheng Qinwen played a more tangled first game, suffered a break at the beginning, and was even interfered with by the Serbian fans on the spot, but she suddenly became angry: "WC, don't you ...... annoying", and then, began to break out, 0-2 behind and won 4 games in a row. After that, he never gave his opponent a chance to win the first set 6-4.
In the second set, Zheng Qinwen became more and more courageous and won easily 6-2.
While helping the Chinese team equalize, he once again received a winning bonus of 38,000 dollars.
In the deciding game against the world No. 1, he volleyed the ball to knock down Djokovic and blew up the whole game
The Chinese team, which drew 1-1 in the first two games, entered the mixed doubles duel in the deciding game, and the Chinese team lost 4-6 in the first set. Deyo was also hit by Zheng Qinwen's ferocious return ball, and he was very embarrassed and fell to the ground on all fours.
For this, Zheng Qinwen also stuck out his tongue and apologized. Djokovic also pointed at Zheng Qinwen with two fingers, as if to say, I locked you.
In the second set, Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen played strongly and pulled back a game 6-1.
Woo good, the two sides once tied up, but in the tie-break game, there were too many mistakes, and unfortunately lost 6-10.
Although the mixed doubles failed, Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen played their own momentum and level in the game, and being able to compete with the world's No. 1 is a valuable opportunity to learn from Xi no matter whether they win or lose.
I believe that with the showdown with Djokovic, it will be more conducive to the growth of Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen. #Headline Premiere Challenge#
