On January 19, 2025, Beijing time, good news came from the Australian Open. Due to the withdrawal of the No. 4 seeds Townsend/Nees before the match, Chinese 36-year-old veteran Zhang Shuai and Bopanna directly advanced to the mixed doubles quarterfinals, making Zhang Shuai the first Chinese player to reach the quarterfinals at this event.
