New season debut postponed Zheng Qinwen announced his withdrawal from the United Cup: need more time to rest, see you at the Australian Open

On the evening of December 21, Beijing time, Chinese tennis star Zheng Qinwen announced that in preparation for the Australian Open and the new season, she decided to withdraw from the United Cup, which will start at the end of the year, which also means that Zheng Qinwen's new season debut will be postponed.

Zheng Qinwen wrote: "Hello everyone, I regret that I will not be playing in the United Cup next week. After a long season in 2024, I need a few extra weeks of rest, recovery and good training to get ready for the new season. I had a great time at the Union Cup in January of this year, so I'm going to miss it a lot. She also shouted to fans: "I'm looking forward to playing at the Australian Open soon, see you in Melbourne in a few weeks!" ”

In the 2025 Chinese team lineup announced by the United Cup, Zheng Qinwen led the lineup, and Zhang Zhizhen, Gao Xinyu, Bai Yan, Zhang Shuai, and Sun Fajing also participated, who formed the Chinese team's lineup. In this joint cup, the Chinese team is in Group E with Brazil and Germany. According to the schedule, the Chinese team will play Brazil on December 27 and Germany on December 30.

Next year's Australian Open will be held from January 12 to 26 next year, with only one week between the two events. In last year's Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen went all the way to the final as a dark horse, and finally lost to Sabalenka to win the runner-up. Withdrawing from the United Cup and concentrating on preparing for the Australian Open is indeed a more rational choice.
