The 24-year-old is only the fourth Chinese man to play singles in the main draw of a grand slam since the Open Era began in 1968.

Wu Di (2013, 2014, 2016), Zhang Ze (2014, 2015) and Li Zhe (2019) have all played at the Australian Open.

Wimbledon, the only grand slam to be canceled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will return in its usual slot this year with the main draw starting on June 28.
