The day revolved around comebacks in the ATP Hangzhou 2025. Perhaps the most publicized was that of Matteo Berrettini; however, the one with a longer absence was that of a tennis player who excited China but has dealt with the ghost of injuries for seven months. This player is Zhizhen Zhang, who hadn't played since Indian Wells and managed a commendable victory against Buyunchaokete, making a successful return to professional competition (6-7(2), 6-4, 7-6(3)). As the scoreboard shows, the match had it all, including two match points for Bu that his compatriot saved with style. There is no better test for a comeback, no doubt.
Matches of the day (first round):
- Tomás Etcheverry d. Damir Dzumhur 6-2, 6-4
- Dalibor Svrcina (LL) d. Matteo Berrettini (8) 6-3, 6-3
- Nishesh Basavareddy (Q) d. Marin Cilic 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
- Giulio Zeppieri (Q) d. Fajing Sun (WC) 6-3, 6-2
