Hangzhou Asian Games: China's national anthem was played twice on the Hangzhou Asian Games tennis court, for young stars Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen respectively.

"The national flag on our shirts means a lot," said 20-year-old sensation Zheng, who triumphed at her first Asiad in the women's singles, reports Xinhua.

"We tennis players compete in Grand Slams or other tournaments around the world every year, only with a few opportunities to actually represent our own country in international events," the US Open quarterfinalist noted.
