Zhang Zhizhen, the up-and-coming Chinese tennis star, has recently been appointed as the ambassador for luxury watch brand Hublot. With a burgeoning fan base in China, the world’s most populous country, this partnership seems like a natural fit.

His tennis career has been a steady ascent, marked by notable achievements. In 2023, Zhang reached the third round at both the US Open and the French Open. The year 2024 proved to be even more remarkable as he broke into the top 50 in the singles rankings. His crowning achievement came at the 2024 Australian Open, where he advanced to the doubles semifinals with partner Tomáš Macháč,  becoming the first Chinese man to reach this stage in a Grand Slam tournament.

Despite his dedication to tennis, Zhang also maintains a life beyond the court. In June 2022, he graduated with a degree in Human Resources Management from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, highlighting his commitment to education and personal growth.

He has earned over $2 million in prize money. With his rising profile, he is certain to attract more sponsors in the coming years.
