Zheng Qinwen's mixed doubles partner, Draper, who is currently ranked No.6 in the world, has a series of good results this year, including winning the Indian Wells Masters and finishing runner-up at the Madrid Masters. The Brit, who is seeded No. 2 in men's singles at this week's ATP 500 Queen's Cup, replied when asked about his prospects of being paired with Zheng Qinwen in a press conference after his first-round victory: "I think it will be very interesting to play in this tournament and partner with her [Zheng]. For players, this format will help us prepare well for the US Open, to be able to partner with another top player and challenge for the title, and Khin Wen is a very good player, she is at a very high level. ”
