The duo delivered a truly unforgettable experience on Centre Court, rallying with young players from across Macau and passing on lessons from their own rise on tour—fuelling the juniors’ passion and ambition for the sport.

 

Adding a meaningful dimension to the weekend, a special sharing session celebrating women’s influence in sport and tennis will take place tomorrow (Dec 27) morning. Titled ‘Four Voices, One Court’, the discussion will be held at 11:00 a.m. at The Fantasy Box on the second floor of MGM MACAU, featuring Li Na, Conchita Martínez, Mirra Andreeva and Alexandra Eala in an intergenerational dialogue moderated by Former Hong Kong Olympian and host Robyn Lamsam.

 

Players will also step out into the city to engage with fans and experience Macau’s vibrant culture and celebrated culinary scene. On Sunday (Dec 28) morning, Andreeva, Davidovich Fokina, Humbert, Wu and Shang will take part in a specially curated Food and Local Culture Experience at Rua da Praia do Manduco and Barra Kitchen at the Barra District, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., where they will sample local flavours and gain a first-hand taste of Macau’s unique blend of heritage, tradition and cuisine.
