Novak Djokovic will open his United Cup campaign on New Years Eve and he stumbled into the Chinese winning team press conference prompting a hilarious response from Qinwen Zheng.
'Queenwen' led her country to their first Group E victory over Czech Republic on Saturday, December 30. She defeated Marketa Vondrousova after Zhizhen Zhang who has also established himself as one of the best rising stars on the tour saw off Jiri Lehecka. They then paired up against the players they defeated in singles to seal the win. They will now face Serbia on December 31.
Djokovic waved at the Chinese Number One from the doorway ahead of their clash and as soon as the 24-time Grand Slam champion left the room, she hilariously told him to come back as she hadn't got an autograph yet.

Djokovic will team up with Hamad Medjedovic, Nikola Cacic, Olga Danilovic, Natalia Stevanovic and Dejana Radanovic and will start his season there before heading to the Australian Open.

AceOfBase17-09-2024 - FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
