JACK DRAPER will get no rest in his opening match of the US Open against Triple-Z – the long-haired Chinese No.1 who loves Ronnie O’Sullivan.

Zhizhen Zhang became the first Chinese man to play at Wimbledon in 2021 and won an Olympic silver medal in the mixed doubles in Paris.

The world No.41 is quickly making his name in the sport – even if it is a challenge to pronounce for non-Chinese speakers.
