China's tennis squad is gearing up for high-stakes matches against Brazil and Germany at the United Cup in Perth, Australia! 🇨🇳 The action kicks off Friday as world No. 45 Zhang Zhizhen takes on Brazil's Thiago Monteiro in men's singles – and the pressure doesn't stop there. Zhang will face Germany's Alexander Zverev (yes, that Olympic gold medalist 🥇) next Monday.
Gao Xinyu steps into the spotlight for women's singles, replacing Australian Open-focused Zheng Qinwen. If needed, she'll team up with Zhang in mixed doubles – talk about squad versatility! 💪
With 18 teams battling across six groups, China needs strong performances to advance to the knockout phase. Remember: Defending champs Germany just claimed last year's title against Poland. Will history repeat, or will China shake up the rankings? 🤔
