On January 4, Beijing time, the Chinese team in the group stage of the 2024 United Cup advanced to the quarterfinals with one win and one loss by virtue of the best group second, and according to the rules of the competition, the top ten players in the singles world can get 80 points by defeating the top ten players in the singles world in the quarterfinals. If Zheng Qinwen defeats world No. 1 Swiatek in the quarter-finals between China and Poland, the points will come to 2870, and the instant ranking will surpass Ostapenko to No.12, and help lock in the top 12 seeds of the Australian Open! If Zhang Zhizhen defeats the world No. 9 Hurkacz, the points will come to 991, and the instant ranking will come to No.46, which will basically ensure that he will enter the top 50 for the first time next week! Unfortunately, it backfired, the opponent was too strong, the Chinese team lost 0-2, Zhang Zhizhen lost 3-6, 4-6, Zheng Qinwen lost 2-6, 3-6, and once lost 9 points in a row! The Chinese team went out 0-2 ahead of schedule, so the mixed doubles You Xiaodi/Sun Fajing ushered in their debut, but unfortunately they were close to victory, losing to Pittle/Zielinsky 3-6, 7-5, 7-10, and missing the 1/4 final mixed doubles victory bonus of 13,000 US dollars.
Although the Chinese team missed out on the semi-finals and missed out on the $69,500 promotion bonus, the five Chinese players' New Year's red envelopes were still very expensive! They also played on Perth Beach for a day! It can be regarded as a "team building" competition! However, the quarterfinals are the best result of Chinese tennis in the Confederations Cup, and it is also a height that is difficult for men's basketball to reach at present. However, on the whole, the Tennis Federation Cup has not risen to the importance of the World Table Tennis Championships Team World Cup, and Zheng Qinwen ran to the bathroom before the game was finished in the mixed doubles match, leaving Zhang Zhizhen messy in the wind! Although the total prize money of the Confederations Cup of 10 million US dollars is far ahead of table tennis! But for tennis players, there are not many, and this is also related to the fact that the Confederations Cup is only in its second session.
Zheng Qinwen: 185,250 US dollars (2 wins in group singles, 1 win in account) Zhang Zhizhen: 76925 (1 win in group singles, 1 win in account) Buyun Chaoket: 20,000, You Xiaodi: 20,000, Sun Fajing: 12,500.
First of all, according to the ranking appearance fee, Zheng Qinwen 100,000 US dollars (top10-20), Zhang Zhizhen 30,000 (top50-100), Buyun Chaoket, You Xiaodi 15,000, Sun Fajing 7,500. In the group stage, the singles winner will get 38,325, the mixed doubles winning pair will get 7,200, and the team winner will get 5,000 each.

Tomjanovic 6-1, 6-1 Danilovic
Hunter/Eberden vs Danilovic/Djokovic
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic was hampered by a wrist injury that ended a six-year, 43-game winning streak in Australia. De Minaur, who beat world No. 1 for the first time in his career, was very emotional after the match: "Throughout my tennis career, I kept hearing people say that I was not big enough and not strong enough. To say that I have no offensive firepower is to be a grinder. Say I'll never be a top player. I hear things like that every week. De Minaur defeated Djokovic 2-6/1-6/2-6 at the Australian Open last year, but he has the confidence to say these things! Because he has defeated No.2 Nadal in the Confederations Cup, and has also defeated No.3 Medvedev (twice), No.5 Rublev, Rune, Zverev, Fritz, Kei Nishikori, Berrettini, Norrie and other top 10 players.
