China's Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen is set to kick off her Wimbledon journey against Czech star Katerina Siniakova this Monday! 🎾 The 22-year-old, seeded fifth, headlines a squad of five Chinese women aiming to make waves at the All England Club.
🔥 Hot Matchup Alert: Zheng, who stunned fans with a third-round run in 2022, faces a fresh challenge after early exits in recent years. Meanwhile, rising star Wang Xinyu – fresh off defeating French Open champ Coco Gauff in Berlin – takes on 15th-seeded Karolina Muchova!
🇨🇳 Squad Depth: Zhu Lin (using protected ranking), Yuan Yue, and veteran Zhang Shuai round out the women's team. On the men's side, 23-year-old Buyunchaokete becomes China's sole representative after injuries sidelined other players. He'll debut against 29th-seeded American Brandon Nakashima.
