Serbia narrowly won to advance, and at the last moment, it beat the Chinese team to rank first in the group and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. The Chinese team, which unfortunately slipped second in the group, successfully qualified with the best second place in the group with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, creating a history of advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time.
On January 2, Beijing time, the final match of Group E of the United Cup was played between Serbia and the Czech Republic.
In the first game, 2023 Wimbledon C champion Vondrousova defeated world No. 119 Danilovic 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
In the second game, Djokovic met the teenager Leheka. Playing with an injury, Djokovic won 6-1, 6-7, 6-1 to help Serbia equalise.
In the deciding game, Djokovic, who was fighting with an injury, chose to take a break, and the young player Mejdovic, who played on his behalf, advanced to the quarterfinals with a narrow victory of 4-6, 7-6, 10-8.
With the Serbian team ranking first in the group, the Chinese team's quarterfinals opponent was determined. It is led by Poland, the world No. 1 Swiatek in women's singles.
After the Chinese team met the men's singles world No. 1, they met the women's singles world No. 1 again, and no one was lucky.
Poland are led by World No. 1 Swiatek in Women's Singles and Hurkacz at No. 9 in Men's Singles.
China's first sister Zheng Qinwen once again ushered in the confrontation with the world No. 1 Swiatek, the two have played each other four times, Zheng Qinwen unfortunately suffered four consecutive defeats, namely Wimbledon 1/8 finals 1-2, San Diego 500 second round 1-2 loss, Stuttgart 500 second round, 0-2 defeat, Cincinnati 1000 1/8 finals 1-2 loss.
Although Zheng Qinwen suffered four consecutive defeats, he was not powerless, winning one set in three of his games, indicating that he has the ability to win, but lacks the ability to win, such as serve, control, hold, mentality, etc.
But this is not the case, and Zheng, who has risen to 14th in the world, believes that he has the ability to challenge Swiatek.
China's first brother Zhang Zhizhen and Hurkacz have played each other twice, winning one game each, meeting at the Shanghai Masters and the Tokyo ATP 500 respectively, and the two sides are equal in terms of records.
The match will start at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I believe that Chinese tennis, which is making rapid progress, will bring us a different surprise. #Headline Startup Challenge##Headline Starter Creation Match#
