China's team in this match was simply thrilling and satisfying to watch! They secured an early victory with a 2-0 score in the first battle of Group E in the United Cup, especially with Zhang Zhizhen's outstanding performance, which delighted all the fans. This match was not only a victory for China but also a testament to the team's determination and confidence when facing strong opponents. Brazil's Monteiro, ranked 109th in the world, seemed no match for Zhang Zhizhen's dominant state, which was like giving the opponent a vivid lesson on how to overwhelm them. Let's talk about Gao Xinyu's women's singles match first. Everyone knows that Zheng Qinwen couldn't participate due to injury, and Gao Xinyu stepped up to replace her under pressure. Her world ranking is only 175th, and playing against Brazil's top player, Maya, is no small feat. However, Gao Xinyu managed to reverse the situation with a 2-1 victory, securing the crucial first point for China. She played with great effort despite her own injuries, and every move on the court showed her determination, especially in the critical moments of the third set, where she was like a hardcore warrior. When she successfully overtook her opponent, I almost couldn't help applauding - this match was played cleanly and neatly, laying a solid foundation for China. Some netizens commented: Gao Xinyu is truly a tough woman, playing through her injuries and holding up under pressure; this spirit is truly admirable. Even if Zheng Qinwen were present, she might not have shown such resilience. Zhang Zhizhen's performance was…

In the United Cup arena, Chinese tennis player Gao Xinyu once again became a key force for her team, playing the role of a dark horse. In the first match against Germany, Zhang Zhizhen suffered a disappointing loss, leaving China trailing 0-1. However, it was at this critical moment that Gao Xinyu demonstrated her tenacity and remarkable skills. Gao Xinyu has been active on the ITF circuit, gradually accumulating experience and strength over time. Last season, she reached the second round of the Hua Xin 250 event and continued to fight hard in the qualifying rounds of Grand Slam tournaments. For this United Cup, due to Zheng Qinwen's withdrawal, Gao Xinyu took on the responsibility of being China's top female singles player based on her ranking advantage. Her debut was impressive as she staged a great comeback against world No. 17, Maya, securing a crucial victory for the Chinese team and establishing herself with a notable achievement. And this time, facing the formidable German team, she stepped up once again. Her opponent, Siegemund, is no pushover, currently ranked 80th in the world, having reached a career-high of 27th, made it to the quarterfinals of the French Open, and had commendable performances at the 2024 Australian Open and Wimbledon. But Gao Xinyu showed no fear. During the match, Gao Xinyu's performance was full of ups and downs yet spectacular. In the first set, she unleashed her power, defeating Siegemund with a decisive score of 6-1. This key victory helped China secure their place in the United Cup quarterfinals for the second…

On December 27th, Beijing time, the 2025 United Cup Tennis Mixed Team Tournament kicked off, with the Chinese team, composed of Zhang Zhizhen, Zhang Shuai, Sun Fajing, Gao Xinyu, and Bai Yan, facing their first match against Brazil. Last year, Zheng Qinwen partnered with Zhang Zhizhen to help the Chinese team reach the quarterfinals. This year, the Chinese team was ranked as the 5th seed in the event, grouped with Germany and Brazil. Due to Zheng Qinwen's temporary withdrawal, Gao Xinyu, ranked 175th in the world, stepped in to compete as China's top female singles player. According to the order of play, the women's singles started first, with Gao Xinyu facing off against Maya, who is ranked 17th in the world, showing a clear gap in strength between the two. In the first set, Gao Xinyu was broken by Maya right from the start, but managed to break back in the tenth game to level at 5-5. However, she was broken again in the eleventh game and lost the set 5-7, putting her in a desperate situation. In the second set, Gao Xinyu adjusted her game state, engaging in a competitive exchange with Maya and successfully breaking in the crucial tenth game to win 6-4, dragging the match into a decisive third set. In the final set, Gao Xinyu was broken by Maya in the seventh game, but immediately broke back in the eighth game to level at 5-5 again.

China's top player Zhang Zhizhen has made a new move on social media, sharing photos of his arrival in Perth, Australia and his preparations for the United Cup. He also revealed his feelings after arriving, saying that the weather there is hotter than he expected, and he hasn't been in such hot conditions for a long time. However, he will do his best to adapt and strive for good results in this United Cup. The temporary withdrawal of Zheng Qinwen has greatly affected the strength of the Chinese team. In foreign websites' predictions for the United Cup, China initially had a chance to win the championship, ranking fifth, only behind the United States, Poland, Greece, and Kazakhstan, and at the same level as Italy and Germany. However, after Zheng Qinwen withdrew, China's chances of winning dropped to 11th place. The reason for this drop is the poor performance of China's women's singles. Looking at the current situation, the top women's singles player sent by China is Gao Xinui, who is ranked only 175th in the world. She will have to face Brazil's number one player, Maia, and Germany's number one player, Siegemund. Gao Xinui has never even entered the top 100 in the world or played in the main draw of a Grand Slam. Whether it's about strength or fame, she is far behind. This means that China has no chance of scoring in the women's singles event. If they want to advance from the group, they can only rely on Zhang Zhizhen and the mixed doubles. Zhang Zhizhen will…
