Beijing’s National Tennis Center just served up an epic start to the China Open! 🌟 The tournament kicked off with a ceremony so cool it could rival a Netflix sports drama. Picture this: the Diamond Court’s roof sliding open like a scene from a sci-fi flick, revealing tennis legends Li Ting and Sun Tiantian – the 2004 Olympic doubles champs – alongside Grand Slam stars Zheng Jie and Yan Zi. Talk about a generational flex! 🏆
But wait – the action didn’t stop there! Current fan faves like Zhang Shuai and teen sensation Shang Juncheng lit up the court in a mixed doubles showdown. Then came the main event: Paris 2024 gold medalist Zheng Qinwen rallying with young players, proving tennis in China is all about that next-gen energy. 🚀
As players officially returned to the courts, one thing’s clear: this tournament’s mixing legacy with tomorrow’s stars. Game on! 🔥
