The 2026 Fed Cup Tennis Tournament will continue on the 4th. In the Sydney Division B group match, the Chinese team faced the Canadian team, the second seed in this tournament, and ultimately lost 0-3.

China News Agency reported that a total of 5 players from the Chinese team participated in this competition, namely male players Zhang Zhizhen, Terigele, Wang Aoran and female players Zhu Lin and You Xiaodi.

In the women’s singles competition, Zhu Lin, the new Chinese National Games women’s singles champion, faced off against 19-year-old Canadian rising star Mboko. Relying on the break advantage in the early stage, Zhu Lin took the lead in winning the first set 6-2. Mboko regained a victory 6-2 in the second set and achieved a reversal with a 6-0 victory in the final set.

In the subsequent men’s singles match, Zhang Zhizhen faced Aliassime, who is ranked fifth in the men’s singles world. Aliasim served well and won two straight sets 6-4, sealing the victory for the Canadian team in advance. In mixed doubles, the Chinese team combination You Xiaodi/Trigele lost to Mboko/Aliassime 1-6, 3-6.

Talking about the reasons for the defeat, Zhang Zhizhen admitted at the post-match press conference that due to the humid weather and venue environment, his physical reaction was slower than when he faced the Belgian team on the 3rd, and his mood was more likely to fluctuate when he was tired, but “overall, he scored all the points he deserved.”

“Today’s opponents will be higher in ranking than yesterday.” Zhu Lin said, in fact, they performed well today. Maybe because they played two games yesterday, they lacked energy today.

Xinhua News Agency reported that this event was held in Perth and Sydney from the 2nd to the 11th. The 18 participating teams were divided into 6 groups. The first place in the group and the second place with the best results in the two divisions advance to the quarterfinals. In the first match on the 3rd, the Chinese team reversed the Belgian team 2-1 and achieved a “good start”. The Canadian team and the Belgian team will play the final game of Group B on the 6th, and the result will determine the final ranking of the group.
