At the WTT Contender Zagreb, due to their high rankings, they advanced directly to the main draw.
The first day of matches went relatively smoothly. In the mixed doubles, the duo easily defeated the German pair Patrick Franziska and Wan Yuan, while in the women's singles, Shasha won 3-0 against her teammate He Zhuojia. Having not played in a match for almost a month, both of their form and touch were still in decent shape.
On the second day, however, they encountered a bit of difficulty when facing their teammates' new combination, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Yidi. Although they were a newly formed pair, Lin Gaoyuan had a wealth of doubles experience, and Wang Yidi had improved tremendously of late. After the Yuan-Di pair claimed the first two points, Sha-Tou mounted an aggressive comeback and ultimately secured a 3-2 victory. In the women's singles, Shasha continued her dominant run by blanking Brazil's Bruna Takahashi 3-0 to advance to the next round.
