==Career== === 2012–2014: ITF debut === Zhizhen Zhang began his career in [[Chico, California]], playing on the [[ITF Futures|ITF Futures Tour.]] Despite losing to [[Jason Jung]] in straight sets, Zhang rebounded at the Joplin Futures tournament, recording his first win as a professional against [[Daniel Yoo (tennis)|Daniel Yoo]], before losing in straight sets to unranked American Gonzales Austin. Zhang lost in the first round of the following two futures tournaments he entered. At the [[2012 Shanghai Rolex Masters]], Zhang – only sixteen at the time – was given a wild card entry into the qualifying draw; he lost to world number sixty one [[Brian Baker (tennis)|Brian Baker]], winning just three games in his debut clash with a top one hundred ATP player.

After a six month hiatus from professional events, Zhang made his [[2013 ITF Men's Circuit]] debut in May at the USA F12 challenger, where [[Greg Ouellette]] got the better of the youngster in three sets. Zhang continued to play professional events sporadically, managing to come through qualifying to make the [[2013 Shanghai Challenger|2013 Shanghai Challenger's]] main draw – his first [[ATP Challenger Tour]] appearance. Zhang would skip half of the [[2014 ITF Men's Circuit]], finishing the year with only thirteen participations in senior-level events, including a quarterfinal showing at a Futures tournament in [[Cyprus]].

===2015: ATP debut=== March brought Zhang his first victories of 2015, where he bested [[Jan Zieliński]] and top-400 player [[Bastian Trinker]] in Turkey's 11th Futures event of the year. Zhang struggled to maintain consistent form in the following months, exiting in the opening two rounds of every tournament he played in, before winning the [[Mont-de-Marsan]] Futures tournament in June; this was Zhang's first [[ITF World Tennis Tour]] title. French tournaments continued being the bearers of good results for Zhang, as he followed his Futures title with a second final three weeks later, this time in [[Bourg-en-Bresse]].

His ranking bolstered by positive results on the [[2015 ITF Men's Circuit]], Zhang began entering tournaments on the [[2015 ATP Challenger Tour]], though he failed to win any main-draw matches in his first few months on the higher-level Challenger Tour. Zhang then made his ATP tour debut at the [[2015 ATP Shenzhen Open – Singles|2015 Shenzhen Open]]. As a qualifier, he defeated Japanese [[Go Soeda]] in straight sets in the first round, before losing to sixth-seed [[Jiří Veselý]] in straight sets.

Zhang played in the qualifying draws of both the [[2015 China Open (tennis)|Beijing Open]], and the [[2015 Shanghai Rolex Masters|Shanghai Masters]], though he failed to breach the main draw of either venue. Zhang rounded out the year with a few early losses in Challenger tournaments.

=== 2016: Loss of form === Zhang inexplicably missed the first four months of the [[2016 ATP World Tour]], and when he did arrive, he returned on the [[2016 ITF Men's Circuit]]. Zhang lost early through much of April and May, though he did manage to play in both a [[2016 ATP Challenger Tour]] event, and the qualifying draw of the [[ATP Tour 250]] tournament in Nice, the [[2016 Open de Nice Côte d'Azur|Open de Nice]] where he lost a third set tiebreaker to future world No. 1, [[Daniil Medvedev]], in the second round of qualifying.

Excluding one quarterfinal at the Futures level, Zhang lost in the first or second round of every tournament main draw he played in. Zhang finished the year outside the top 800, a drop of four-hundred ranking places from the previous year.

===2017: Two Futures titles, ATP Tour quarterfinal=== Zhang's ranking hovered 800 from September, 2016, to May 2017, when the Chinese youngster, still only twenty years old, reached a third Futures final, this time in [[Lu'an, China]]. Zhang lost in the final to American [[Alexander Sarkissian]]. Now ranked just outside of the top-700, Zhang continued his ascent, winning the [[Shenzhen]] Futures tournament, and losing in the finals of another futures tournament in China (the [[Yinchuan]] Futures tournament) two weeks later. Zhang then began competing on the [[2017 ATP Challenger Tour]], and for the first time, he had no need to play qualifying draws to enter said Challenger Tour events.

After a couple months of early losses on the Challenger Tour, Zhang rebounded at the [[2017 ATP Shenzhen Open – Singles|2017 Shenzhen Open]]. As a qualifier, Zhang upset 4th seed and world No. 39 [[Paolo Lorenzi]] in the second round, subsequently losing to [[Henri Laaksonen]] in the last eight.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.163.com/17/0927/19/CVC5TAN000058782.html|title=深圳赛张之臻胜NO.39 首进巡回赛8强成史上第3人|date=27 September 2017|publisher=Sports.163.com|access-date=29 November 2017|language=zh|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201042847/http://sports.163.com/17/0927/19/CVC5TAN000058782.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/tennis/china/2017-09-29/doc-ifymmiwm1315913.shtml|title=深圳赛张之臻苦战三盘告负无缘四强|publisher=Sports.Sina.com|date=29 September 2017|access-date=29 November 2017|language=zh|archive-date=28 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210928191129/http://sports.sina.com.cn/tennis/china/2017-09-29/doc-ifymmiwm1315913.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> On the 26th of November, 2017, after defeating [[Te Rigele]] in a three-set final, Zhang won the China Tennis Grand Prix Cup title for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/tennis/china/2017-11-26/doc-ifypathz6112868.shtml|title=中国网球大奖赛张之臻逆转夺冠张择止步八强赛|publisher=Sina Sports|date=26 November 2017|access-date=29 November 2017|language=zh|archive-date=28 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210928191131/http://sports.sina.com.cn/tennis/china/2017-11-26/doc-ifypathz6112868.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> With his newfound success at both the Futures and Tour Levels, Zhang finished 2017 ranked in the top 350.

=== 2018: ATP Challenger semifinal === Zhang spent the first half of 2018 losing early on both the [[2018 ATP Challenger Tour]] and the [[2018 ITF Men's Circuit]]. Zhang reached a sixth futures final, losing to [[Jelle Sels]] in [[Casina]]. Zhang's surge in form continued, with a semifinal appearance at the [[2018 Jinan International Open]]. Zhang then lost to [[Andy Murray]] in [[2018 Shenzhen Longhua Open – Men's singles|Shenzhen]], retiring due to injury halfway through the third set. Zhang recovered in time for both the [[2018 China Open (tennis)|2018 China Open]], and the [[2018 Shanghai Rolex Masters]], although he failed to win matches in either.

===2019: Two Challenger titles, China's No. 1 player, top 150 debut=== Zhang started his 2019 season with back-to-back quarterfinal showings on the [[2019 ITF Men's World Tennis Tour]]. Zhang then transitioned to the [[2019 ATP Challenger Tour]], where he reached the round of sixteen in [[2019 Kunming Open|Anning]], followed by a quarterfinal loss to [[Ramkumar Ramanathan]] at the [[2019 ATP Challenger China International – Nanchang]]. Zhang lost early in his next three challenger tournaments. June's [[Columbus Challenger]] saw Zhang return to the later rounds, with another quarterfinal defeat. Zhang's fifth quarterfinal (including both the Futures and Challenger tours' tournaments) was also a defeat; he fell to [[Bai Yan (tennis)|Bai Yan]] at the [[2019 Chengdu Challenger]].

The fall hard-court swing saw Zhang's best results to date. He won the [[2019 Jinan International Open]], beating top one-hundred player [[Soonwoo Kwon]] en route. He also reached the second round of both the [[2019 Zhuhai Championships]] and the [[2019 China Open (tennis)|2019 China Open]], with the latter being a loss to top-five player and eventual champion [[Dominic Thiem]].

October handed Zhang his [[ATP Tour Masters 1000]] main draw debut: a defeat to [[Hubert Hurkacz]] at the [[2019 Rolex Shanghai Masters]]. Zhang concluded October with a second Challenger crown, ousting [[Li Zhe (tennis)|Li Zhe]] in the final round of the [[2019 Shenzhen Longhua Open]].

Zhang finished 2019 ranked 138. A career high year-end ranking.

===2020–2021: Historic Wimbledon debut=== Zhang skipped most of the already abridged [[2020 ATP Tour]] season. He played and lost in the first round of the [[2020 Tata Open Maharashtra]], and failed to progress past qualifying at the [[2020 Dubai Tennis Championships]]. After the onset of the [[Coronavirus|Coronavirus pandemic]], Zhang did not play again until the following year.

Zhang started his 2021 year with a first-round loss at the [[2021 Amex-Istanbul Challenger|2021 İstanbul Challenger]], and a second round loss in [[Dubai]], ending his hopes of qualifying for the [[2021 Australian Open]] (the qualifiers were held in Dubai due to coronavirus restrictions and concerns). Grinding through the [[2021 ATP Challenger Tour]] with few victories, Zhang's drought ended with a semifinal placing at the [[Biella Challenger Indoor]]. Zhang fell short of qualifying for the [[2021 French Open]], thus concluding his clay season.

After playing (and losing in the second round) at the [[2021 Nottingham Trophy]], Zhang qualified for a Grand Slam main draw at the [[2021 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|2021 Wimbledon Championships]]; his first appearance in a main draw at a Major level. He became the first male Chinese in the [[Open Era]] to qualify at [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/zhang-zhizhen-wimbledon-2021-qualifying-thursday|title=Zhang Zhizhen is First Chinese Man to Qualify for Wimbledon in the Open Era|website=Atptour.com|access-date=2021-06-25|archive-date=2021-06-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210625001728/https://www.atptour.com/en/news/zhang-zhizhen-wimbledon-2021-qualifying-thursday|url-status=live}}</ref> He was also only the fourth Chinese man to play singles in the main draw of any Grand Slam since 1968, with the others being [[Wu Di (tennis)|Wu Di]] at the Australian Open in 2013, 2014 and 2016, [[Zhang Ze]] at the Australian Open in 2014 and 2015, and [[Li Zhe (tennis)|Li Zhe]] at the 2019 Australian Open.<ref name="OpenEra" />

Zhang's 2021 season abruptly ended with an injury obtained against [[Federico Delbonis]] in [[2021 Hamburg European Open|Hamburg.]] Zhang finished the year outside the top three-hundred, despite peaking just outside of the top-one-hundred in the [[ATP rankings]] earlier in the season.

=== 2022: US Open debut, second ATP quarterfinal and historic top 100=== The [[San Luis Potosi Challenger]] in April was Zhang's first quarterfinal appearance at any level in 2022. Having lost early or in qualifying for many previous events on the [[2022 ATP Challenger Tour]], Zhang finally managed to progress beyond the second round at a tournament for the first time in almost a year. The following week in [[Florida]], at the [[2022 Tallahassee Tennis Challenger]], Zhang made it to the last four, losing to [[Wu Tung-lin]] in two close sets. Zhang then made a Challenger quarterfinal for the third week in a row, losing to former top-ten player and [[2017 Rolex Paris Masters]] champion [[Jack Sock]] in the final eight. A couple weeks later, and Zhang would again find himself in a Challenger semifinal, this time at the [[2022 Tunis Open]].

Zhang failed to reach the [[Wimbledon Championship|Wimbledon Championships']] main draw again, losing in the second round of [[2022 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles qualifying|qualifying]] to [[Daniel Masur]]. Zhang returned to the Challenger tour after his loss to Masur, opting to play the [[2022 Platzmann-Sauerland Open – Singles|2022 Platzmann-Sauerland Open]]. He reached the final without dropping a set, eliminating both third-seeded [[Manuel Guinard]] and seventh-seeded [[Pablo Cuevas]] en route. Eighteen year-old Serbian [[Hamad Medjedovic]] downed Zhang in less than an hour. This was Zhang's first appearance in a challenger final since 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Luedenscheid {{!}} Draws {{!}} ATP Tour {{!}} Tennis |url=https://www.atptour.com/ |access-date=2022-07-04 |website=ATP Tour |archive-date=2019-04-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190405012322/https://www.atptour.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Zhang next travelled to [[Braunschweig]] with a [[Glossary of tennis terms|special exemption entry]] into the [[2022 Brawo Open – Singles|Brawo Open]].
