“We went to see the giant pandas, and so much has changed since I was last here six years ago,” Musetti shared. “There are new, spacious enclosures with more indoor areas to create the best possible habitat for them. The pandas have this adorable way of looking lazy and tired, they’re incredibly fluffy with such sweet faces. They’re just really cute!”

The Chengdu Open continues to blend tennis with the cultural essence of the region, offering players unforgettable moments off the court.
