Frances Tiafoe, a 26-year-old American tennis player, will be facing off against Zhou Yi, a 19-year-old Chinese player, in their first meeting. Tiafoe currently holds the 17th spot in the world rankings and has achieved a career-high ranking of No. 10. In 2024, he has a record of 30 wins and 22 losses, with two final appearances.

Notably, Tiafoe became the No. 2 junior player in the world and reached No. 10 in the ATP rankings in June 2023. He won his third title in Stuttgart, saving a match point against Struff in the final, which allowed him to secure ATP Tour titles on all three surfaces. Tiafoe also made history in 2022 by defeating four-time champion Nadal and becoming the first American men’s semi-finalist at the US Open since Roddick in 2006. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in leading Team World to victory in the 2022 Laver Cup, defeating Federer and Nadal in the final matches. In 2024, Tiafoe achieved his first ATP Masters 1000 final at Cincinnati, saving two match points against Rune in the semifinals. Overall, Tiafoe’s career highlights include winning his first ATP Tour title at the age of 20 in 2018 and being the youngest American champion since Roddick in 2002. Tiafoe’s parents emigrated from Sierra Leone in 1996, and his father worked as the Head of Maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland, where Tiafoe and his twin brother trained. Tiafoe has struggled in Shanghai recently, but he aims to secure his first win at the event since 2017 and end his four-match losing streak. On the other hand, Zhou Yi, a 19-year-old Chinese player, holds the 440th spot in the world rankings, which is his career-high. In 2024, Zhou has a record of four wins and three losses, with his best performance being reaching the second round in Chengdu and Shanghai. He earned his first ATP Tour win in Chengdu by defeating Tseng in the first round. Zhou’s journey in professional tennis began in 2023 when he made his tour-level debut at the Davis Cup and ATP Tour as a wild card. He earned his first tour-level wins at the Davis Cup against Slovenia. Additionally, Zhou has a 30-21 record on the ITF Tour, winning two titles in Tianjin in 2024. In his Challenger debut in 2023, he reached the quarterfinals in Zhuhai. Zhou also had a successful career in junior tennis, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open and the quarterfinals of the US Open in boys’ singles. Despite facing challenges like being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 14, Zhou remains determined in his tennis career. Zhou’s latest success came at the Shanghai event, where he advanced to the second round after Nishioka retired due to injury. Zhou aims to secure the biggest win of his career and become the second Chinese man to reach the third round in Shanghai along with Wu Yibing.
