SHANG JUNCHENG/S. Baez

5-7, 6-3, 7-5

THE MODERATOR: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the press conference of Shang Juncheng.

Congratulations, Jerry. Big win for you today. Are you looking forward to the next-round match against Sascha?

SHANG JUNCHENG: Yeah, I mean, definitely today was a big match against Seba. Both of us played well. It was a long match. Very happy with my first win at home.

I mean, next match is tough. It's the best player in the world right now. Just a pleasure to share the court with him. I'll be very excited. There will be a lot of fans for sure. Let's see what happens. I'll just give my best.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in Chinese.

Q. First win in the China Open today. Tell us about your feelings. What is your preparation for the next round?

SHANG JUNCHENG: Really happy to be back in China. This is a great opportunity back in China. I'm really happy. This is my fourth year back here. This is my first win in the China Open. Very happy to win this match this way.

I don't think too much before the next round because Zverev is one of the best players right now. He has two Grand Slams. I'm just very lucky to share this court with him. I hope that in two days we can see more fans in a big court. Happy to be back in the China Open.
