The live broadcast schedule for the China Open on CCTV-5 today (2025.9.28) has been announced, with Zhang Shuai and Xiaobu among the participants.

From the broadcast schedule above, we observe:

1. At 12:10 PM today, the women's doubles pair Xu Yifan/Yang Zhaoxuan will take the court.
2. At 6:10 PM tonight, the men's doubles team Xiaobu/Norrie will compete.
3. At 8:15 PM tonight, Zhang Shuai will play against Anisimova.
4. In the first match, it will be very challenging for Xu Yifan/Yang Zhaoxuan to upset Krueger/Pegula; if the Chinese stars can win even one set, it would be considered a success.
5. In the second match, the men's doubles team Xiaobu/Norrie has a chance to win, depending on their performance.
6. The third match is the one Chinese tennis fans are most eager to see. However, don’t expect a victory because Zhang Shuai is unlikely to win unless there is a major upset. Her opponent is the tournament’s third seed, ranked fourth in the world, and this year’s finalist at Wimbledon and the US Open. It will be very tough for Zhang Shuai.
