Asian Games Silver Medalist Zhu
Zhu will be relishing the chance to play in front of a home crowd in Beijing, after the years of the pandemic health crisis which saw the country miss out on hosting top level tennis tournaments.
And she will step on court as a WTA winner, having won her maiden tour title in Thailand in February, where she was also the beaten finalist in the doubles.
She came close to adding a second title to her collection in Osaka earlier this month, but had to settle for the runners-up cheque in the end, beaten by the American Ashlyn Krueger in the final.
Since then, she has been competing in the Asian Games where she was the number two seed. She again got to the final, but had to content herself with the silver medal, beaten by compatriot and top seed, Qinwen Zheng in straight sets.
