In an electrifying match at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, Germany, China's Zhang Zhizhen pulled off a stunning upset against third seed Daniil Medvedev, winning 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5). 🎉
Zhang, the Chinese No. 1, found himself trailing 3-5 in the third-set tiebreaker. But in a display of grit and determination, he rallied back, clinching four consecutive points to secure his second Top 5 victory—after defeating Casper Ruud at last year's U.S. Open! 🔥
\"A really tough match,\" Zhang reflected with a smile, as quoted by the ATP official website. \"Last time I lost a third-set tiebreak in Stuttgart last week. And today, again a third-set tiebreak. I was thinking, 'Okay, it's time. The perfect moment to get revenge.' I'm super happy that today I handled it to the end.\" 😄
Next up, Zhang will face Christopher Eubanks of the United States, who also caused a stir by defeating defending champion Alexander Bublik 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-3. The excitement continues! 👀
