In the last ATP 250 Eastbourne tournament before Wimbledon, Zhang Zhizhen will face his first-round opponent in the first round, Serbian Kecmanovic, who is ranked 53rd. Although Zhang had previously lost a clay season, his form improved significantly in a fierce matchup against world No. 1 Sinner in his last tournament. The world ranking has reached 33, and he has made history by seeding Wimbledon.
In the first set of today, I felt that Zhang Zhizhen played more casually, and the desire to win was not very strong, and Kezmanovic seized the opportunity to complete two breaks and lost the first set 2-6. Although Zhang Zhizhen's first-serve scoring rate was as high as 80%, the first-serve scoring rate and second-serve scoring rate were far inferior to the opponent.
In the second set, Zhang Zhizhen's form rebounded, and the two sides did not break each other, entering a tie-break, but Kezmanovic was in better shape, winning 7-2, thus winning another set 7-6.
Zhang Zhizhen lost to his opponent in two sets and was swept away, and also ushered in three consecutive defeats against his opponent. Reaching the semifinals in Halle did consume too much energy for Zhang Zhizhen, so take a good rest and welcome Wimbledon!
Later tonight, Jinhua Wang Xinyu will face Kasatkina in the first round of the WTA 500 Eastbourne, which is also the second time to meet after Wang Xinyu's 2-0 victory over her opponent at the China Open last year.

In the first round of the doubles field, Wang Xiyu/Wang Yafan will face Xie Shuwei/Mertens, it is estimated that in this match, in the face of doubles masters, the Jinhua combination must show 100% effort to win, in order to win!
