ZHUHAI: World No. 3 Daniil Medvedev will play in the ATP Zhuhai Championships in September, the organizers announced on Wednesday.

The 2021 US Open champion and hard court maestro has been in brilliant form in 2023, winning four titles so far, including the Miami Masters earlier this month. The 27-year-old has won an ATP Tour hard court championship in 19 different cities.

“I’m really looking forward to coming back to China and playing at the Hengqin International Tennis Center,” Medvedev said.

“I can’t wait to see the city and the stadium, both of which I have heard a lot of good things about. It will be great to play again in front of the Chinese fans after three years away. I’m looking forward to seeing you all in September,” he added.

The inaugural edition of the ATP Tour 250 tournament was in 2019 when Australian Alex de Minaur claimed the title, a Xinhua report said.

Alison Lee, the ATP’s executive vice president for the international region, said she is delighted the Zhuhai Championships has returned to the tour calendar. IANS
