In the middle of her second-round match against Caroline Garcia at the Japan Open, Shuai Zhang asked for a sandwich to boost her energy levels.
The Chinese player went on to win a very close match (4-6, 7-6, 7-6). The match took 2 hours and 30 minutes to finish.
WTA observed the moment and shared it on social media.
“She ATE sandwich. Never a bad time for a sandwich,” WTA captioned the video.
“Drop the zhangwich recipe, Shuai,” WTA continued.
