🎾 Zhang Zhizhen from China and his Czech partner Tomas Machac are making waves at the French Open! 🌊 They just clinched a spot in the men's doubles Round of 16 after defeating the Dutch duo Robin Haase and Botic Van de Zandschulp with a score of 7-5, 6-2 on Monday.
This victory marks Zhang's first time reaching the Round of 16 in men's doubles at Roland Garros, and his second appearance at this stage in a Grand Slam tournament. Remember when Zhang and Machac dazzled us by reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open in January? 🏆 They're back at it again!
Initially, Zhang was all about the singles competition. However, after a tough third-round loss to Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas on May 31, he switched gears to focus on doubles. And boy, are we glad he did! 🎉
With their dynamic partnership and unstoppable energy, Zhang and Machac are definitely players to watch. Will they continue their winning streak? Stay tuned! 📺
