Gimeno-Traver, Krajinovic Visit Wanshi Habitat In Shenzhen

The final tournament in a three-week run of ATP Challenger Tour events in China kicks off this week in Shenzhen, but No. 3 seed Daniel Gimeno-Traver and No. 4 seed Filip Krajinovic got to experience one of the most popular local sights before main draw play begins.

On Sunday, Gimeno-Traver and Krajinovic visited Wanshi Habitat, where the ancestors of Shenzhen citizens used to live. The two players learned about Hakka culture and what the lifestyle entailed, then delighted the local audience by hitting a few balls at the site. Both Gimeno-Traver and Krajinovic said they planned to come back and explore Wanshi Habitat again next year.

The top four seeds at this week’s Challenger in Shenzhen are all ranked inside the Top 100 of the Emirates ATP Rankings, with World No. 86 Taro Daniel earning billing as the top seed. Last week’s finalists in Guangzhou, Lukas Lacko and Nikoloz Basilashvili, will look to continue their strong form as the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds this week.
