The Zhuhai Tennis Open officially started, and Chinese players qualified for the main event
The 2018 Zhuhai Open Tennis Championships kicked off on March 3 at the Hengqin International Tennis Center in Zhuhai and will last until the 11th, which is another top professional tennis tournament in Zhuhai after the Zhuhai WTA Super Classic last year. More than 120 international players competed in this tournament, and they will join amateur tennis fans and fans in Zhuhai to once again ignite the passion for tennis in Zhuhai. The tournament was hosted by the Chinese Tennis Association and the Zhuhai Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism, undertaken by Zhuhai Huafa Group, and provided strong support for the event by Hengqin New Area.
Among the women's players competing for this year's tournament are China's Zheng Saisai and Liu Fangzhou, as well as defending women's singles champion and Australian Open finalist Altova in the round of 16 at this year's Australian Open, with Zheng Saisai finishing runner-up in last year's women's singles competition. Since last year's U.S. Open, Zheng Saisai has been exempted from competition for a long time due to injury, but in this week's instant rankings, Zheng Saisai is still within the top 100. After a year's absence, Zheng Saisai will once again participate in the Zhuhai Open, which will also be her first tournament of the new season. On the men's side, two of the top 100 Australians, Millman and Thompson, will compete together. Chinese twin stars Zhang Ze and Wu Di have been very fond of Zhuhai and have been competing in Zhuhai for many years.

The total prize money of this year's competition is as high as 13.5 US dollars, including 75,000 yuan for the men's competition and 60,000 yuan for the women's competition.
The first matchday was attended by ATP players. Eight Chinese players, including Bai Yan and He Yecong, competed on the first day of competition and hit a valuable men's singles wild card. As a result, only two players, He Yecong and Xia Zihao, stood out and advanced to the second round of qualifying, where He Yecong will face Russia's Slobochikov in tomorrow's match, while Xia Zihao will face the challenge of Chinese Taipei's Li Guanyi. On the second match day on March 4, ATP and ITF players will take to the court to present a number of exciting matchups for Zhuhai fans.
