China's tennis star Zhang Zhizhen just pulled off a MAJOR upset at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, Germany! 🎾 The world No. 42 battled past third seed Daniil Medvedev in a nail-biting 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5) showdown, saving match points in an epic third-set tiebreaker. Talk about drama! 💥
Trailing 3-5 in the tiebreak, Zhang rallied like a K-drama hero 🦸♂️, winning four straight points to secure his second-ever victory over a Top 5 player. Fans might remember his 2023 U.S. Open triumph against Casper Ruud – now this win cements his rep as a giant-killer.
\"A really tough match… I was thinking, 'Okay, it's time. The perfect moment to get revenge,'\" Zhang told ATP officials post-match. 🗣️ Last week's heartbreak in Stuttgart? Totally redeemed. 💯
Next up: A quarterfinal clash with American Christopher Eubanks, who just dethroned defending champ Alexander Bublik. Could this be Zhang's breakthrough moment? 🤔 One thing's clear – Chinese tennis is serving up FIRE this season. 🔥
