"I always believed that I could compete on such a big stage, but it was quite difficult during the pandemic." 20-year-old Huang Zelin, currently ranked 182 in the world men's singles, relies on a wild card to participate in the war, but now he has broken through two hurdles in a row, achieved the biggest victory in his career so far, and has also become the second lowest ranked men's dark horse in the third round of Miami in the past 10 years, "I have not been able to play for a year and a half, and I am very fortunate that my parents, coaches, and team have been supporting and giving great help." It's not easy to come here, and it's been a dream since childhood to be able to compete with a top player like Sheldon. I'm really happy that this is dedicated to Hong Kong. ”
