(VIDEO) New Balls Please! Zhang struck in some private zone we all care about
ATPSaturday, 29 July 2023 at 17:30
Chinese tennis star Zhang Zhizhen received unwanted attention
after being hit in private parts by the ball during the Hamburg Open.
The 26-year-old was taking part in the quarterfinal of the
competition against Germany’s Daniel Altmaier on Friday.
During that match, Zhizhen was hit in the private region on the
backhand which left him in a lot of discomfort.
However, Zhizhen managed to get his attention back and
eventually beat his opponent in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
That victory was short-lived as Zhizhen eventually suffered
a defeat in the semifinal of the Hamburg Open to Serbia’s Laslo Djere on Saturday
in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2.
Despite that result, the Shanghai-born will be pretty satisfied
with his performance and will be hoping that this outing will help him get in
the groove ahead of the US Open.
As of now, Zhizhen does not have a great record in any of
the Grand Slam events where his best outing is reaching the third round of the
French Open earlier this year.
