As usual, with Alexander Zverev, who had been there as a squire during the South America tour. After all, the Chinese audience was offered three sentences, reportedly at an entertaining level.
No matter how long the 38-year-old's career continues on the ATP tour, Federer will be seen in Hangzhou until at least 2023. Whether it will always be with his German protégé will be shown. In any case, Alexander Zverev will head straight to Australia after the exhibition fight, and on Friday he will lead the German team at the ATP Cup against hosts Australia. And with Alex de Minaur find an opponent who follows a different game plan than the Maestro.
Federer frees himself from competition tennis up to the Australian Open, has recently turned to business matters, bought himself from a Swiss sports shoe manufacturer for a medium double-digit million amount. And as a partner of this company, it certainly served well in the huge Chinese market.
