Press Conference

Z. ZHIZHEN/F. Coria

6-4, 7-6, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: We will do English questions first and move to Chinese questions.

First of all, congratulations, five-setter loss last year to a straight-set win today. How happy are you about your performance and your improvement?

ZHANG ZHIZHEN: Was pretty happy, because first match winning in Australian Open was waiting for quite long already. Last time I start from 2020, that's four years, and also last year I was missing the chance, like everyone knows.

So, yeah, I was quite prepared for this year, and I'm quite happy that I can take the win for today.
