China has always been perceived in the tennis world as a sleeping giant that could change the tennis industry if a good player emerged from there. The tennis tradition in the Asian country is very low, something that is evident when we see that, until now, Wimbledon 2024there had never been a Chinese player seeded in a Grand Slam. It will be Zhizhen Zhang whoever breaks that dynamic.
For the first time in history, a Chinese men’s player is seeded in a Grand Slam.
If you know that Zhang Zhizhen still had to play in the qualifying rounds for the Grand Slams in 2021 and 2022, you will understand that he and Chinese men’s tennis have both come a long way. pic.twitter.com/nEYe4Yw6mq
