From the low point of injury to winning the Chinese Open, this night was not just a victory, but also a moment that Chinese tennis had waited for too long.

On the same field, 39 year old Djokovic won the men's singles championship trophy at the China Open for the seventh time on October 6th, continuously setting a new record in the history of the tournament.

How hot is this year's China Open? The total number of visitors to the National Tennis Center during the tournament is expected to exceed 450000, a year-on-year increase of 25%; The number of daily visitors to the park exceeded 35000 for six consecutive days, and exceeded 40000 on October 1st and 2nd.

Under the spotlight, the champion is born. Outside the spotlight, another "game" without scores or broadcasts is also taking place simultaneously. For two consecutive years, United Family Healthcare has been stationed at the stadium as the only officially designated medical service provider for sports events, fully ensuring the safety of every player and guaranteeing the smooth operation of the event.

Dual line preparation, benchmarking international medical standards for events

Many people think that sports medical services are just on standby on the sidelines, handling minor injuries and sprains. But international organizations such as the Women's Professional Tennis Federation (WTA) and the Professional Tennis Federation (ATP) have much stricter requirements for medical care during competitions than the public imagines.

With a professional and efficient service model, as well as meticulous and comprehensive support capabilities, United Family Healthcare successfully completed its medical security tasks in last year's China Open tournament, gaining recognition from both domestic and foreign players, and also receiving official recognition from WTA and ATP, becoming an indispensable health support for the smooth progress of the tournament.

In order to continue providing high standard medical insurance during the 2026 China Open tennis tournament, United Family Healthcare has initiated preparations in advance and formed a medical team. Senior doctors are appointed as leaders of the WTA and ATP medical teams, and the medical rooms are independently set up and operated, which not only conforms to the different international norms of men's and women's competitions, but also protects the privacy of players' medical treatment, making the diagnosis and treatment process clearer and more efficient.

The ability to undertake such international events for a long time is inseparable from the international service experience accumulated by United Family for many years. United Family Healthcare has nearly 700 full-time doctors from 20 countries and regions, as well as mature experience in supporting various types of large-scale events, including the Beijing Winter Olympics, Beijing Marathon, International Union of Modern Pentathlon (UIPM) 2026 Obstacle Race World Championships, Spartacus Warriors, Beijing Guoan Club Football Tournament, etc. These cross project and cross scenario experiences have also laid the foundation for serving Zhongwang.

In response to common sports injuries, seasonal diseases, and sudden discomfort in tennis, the United Family Healthcare team has developed emergency plans in advance and polished a high-quality and international medical insurance system for the event.

Instant response, building a closed-loop system from the arena to the hospital for emergency treatment

After the start of the main race, the pressure of medical insurance on the field was released, and there was a continuous demand for sudden injuries and personalized medical treatment. From emergency sports injury treatment on the field to coordination with specialized clinics and urgent imaging examinations, the United Family Healthcare team is on standby and responds quickly throughout the entire process.

During the competition, a player sprained their knee joint. Dr. Dong Bei, a general practitioner at United Family Hospital, quickly conducted a physical examination and applied ice therapy, and determined that further imaging tests were needed. The ambulance immediately drove from the venue to the emergency department of Beijing United Family Hospital, and the nurse had completed a quick registration appointment on the way. At almost the same time, orthopedic doctors have been waiting in advance in the hospital, and players can directly enter the examination, diagnosis, and plan evaluation process upon arrival, seamlessly connecting the entire process from injury to diagnosis.

Shoulder joint injuries are also a common problem among tennis players, as repeated swinging movements can cause the shoulder joint to repeatedly bear impacts. Long term improper exertion can easily induce rotator cuff tendon strain, shoulder joint inflammation, shoulder pain, limited exertion, and other problems, affecting the competitive state.

A foreign participating player suffered a right shoulder joint sports injury, and Dr. Feng Yao from the United Family Orthopedics Department received on-site treatment. After completing the preliminary assessment, the team immediately initiated the referral process and transferred the player to the in-house orthopedics department for specialized diagnosis and treatment, opening up a closed loop from on-site assessment to in-house specialized diagnosis and treatment.

In addition to acute sports injuries, the personalized medical needs of players have also been quickly and properly addressed. A player with a medical history experienced fever and nausea, and United Family Healthcare notified the emergency team half an hour in advance to prepare; If a player needs to see an ophthalmologist, the team can quickly register, make an appointment for the next day's clinic, and arrange for pick-up and drop off; There are also players who need imaging examinations. The team will coordinate with the radiology department during the night time period. After the examination is completed, a CD will be engraved and urgently sent to the designated player's email

These details without scores or cameras constitute the premise for players to play with peace of mind. As Djokovic said in an interview after the game, "Everyone makes me feel like a Chinese, like I'm playing at home." Perhaps this sense of home is not only from the audience, but also from the guardians on the sidelines who are always on standby.

Guarding health, one snap is enough! The charm of sports lies in constantly challenging the limits, and guarding makes people dare to challenge the limits. In the future, United Family Healthcare will continue to provide international medical services to safeguard every effort.
