At Wimbledon 2024, Zhang Zhizhen will play in a Grand Slam for the first time as a seeded player, and in the first round of the men's singles, he faced the French player Jean Vie, who is ranked 225th in the world, and the Chinese brother won with a big score of 3-0 and easily advanced to the second round! So far, in this Wimbledon, the first three singles matches in which Chinese players participated have been all won, and Zhu Lin, Shang Juncheng and Zhang Zhizhen have all advanced, and all of them have swept without losing a set! However, immediately after Zhang Zhizhen, Zhang Shuai swallowed the egg 0-6 in the second set, lost to Kasatkina 0-2 with a big score and suffered 21 consecutive defeats across the season, and Chinese tennis also suffered its first defeat at Wimbledon.
In the grass court season, Zhang Zhizhen performed well, defeating Medvedev in the Harley race! Zhang Zhizhen, who has continued to achieve good results, has continued to climb in the world rankings and won the Wimbledon men's singles seeding place historically.
In this Wimbledon, Zhang Zhizhen is in the men's singles 1/4 zone, and his opponent in the first round is the French player Jean Vie, who is ranked 200 outside the world, and Jean Vieer is a player who broke through from the qualifying round.
In the first set, the competition was still a little fierce, and Zhang Zhizhen won the victory with a tie-break, and went down first.
In the second set, Zhang Zhizhen took advantage of the victory to chase after him, and scored 6-3 in the next game, leading 2-0.
In the third set, Zhang Zhizhen was already unstoppable, easily won 6-2, swept NO.225 in straight sets, and advanced to the men's singles round.
It is worth mentioning that this is also Zhang Zhizhen's first personal victory in Wimbledon, but because Shang Juncheng won first, the first victory in the history of the Wimbledon men's singles main draw of Chinese mainland men's tennis players belongs to Shang Juncheng. Still, Zhang set a record in Chinese tennis history: becoming the first Chinese mainland male tennis player to win the first round of four Grand Slams.
On the first day of the match, the most shocking news came from outside the court, with Sabalenka, one of the favourites to win the tournament, withdrawing and Zheng Qinwen, the top eight seed in the same region, ushering in a major positive.
