Okay, let’s talk about Zhizhen Zhang’s racquet. I’ve been following this guy for a while, ever since I saw him play in some Challenger tournaments. He’s got a powerful game, and I was always curious about what kind of racquet he uses to generate so much force.
I remember watching one of his matches, maybe it was at the Roland Garros against Casper Ruud, and thinking, “Man, this guy swings that racquet like a hammer!” It got me thinking, it’s not just about how fast you swing, but also the weight of the racquet, right? It’s basic physics: Force equals mass times acceleration. Zhizhen Zhang has got some long arms, which probably gives him some extra leverage too.
So, I started digging around to find out more about his racquet. Turns out, he’s a rising star in Chinese tennis, along with others like Zheng Qinwen and Shang Juncheng. He is a promising player, you know. I even read somewhere that when Medvedev reached his first grand slam final in 2019, Zhang sent a message to him. He seems like a nice guy, very humble.

Anyway, back to the racquet. I found out that Zhizhen Zhang hasn’t always been playing on the big stage. He’s been grinding it out in the Challenger and Futures circuits because his ranking wasn’t high enough to get into the main ATP tournaments. He even withdrew from some big matches due to some reason, then he teamed up with Zhang Shuai. That’s pretty cool, right? They are both good tennis players.
Recently, I watched a match between him and Thanasi Kokkinakis. Zhang was the underdog, with odds against him. But that just made me root for him even more! You know, I have been watching a lot of matches of him. He has great potential to become a great player.
Here’s what I gathered about his racquet situation:
- Some people online were speculating about his racquet’s “paint job,” suggesting it might be customized. You know how these pros are, they always have their gear tweaked just right.
- There were even some jokes about him being the “Great Wall of Zennis,” which I thought was pretty funny. It is a compliment to his great defense abilities.
- I couldn’t find the exact model he’s using, but it seems to be pretty standard. But for a professional player like him, he must be using some very good racquets.
In the end, I realized it’s not just about the racquet. It’s the player, their technique, their strength, and their determination. Zhizhen Zhang is a great example of that. He’s a hard worker, and he’s definitely someone to watch in the future.
