In what is becoming a tradition, at least since 2016, ATP stars once again headed to the panda breeding center in Chengdu.

Fabio Fognini, Chung Hyeon and world No. 95 Bradley Klahn all took pictures with the huge pandas, and spoke about the exciting meeting.

"I saw a lot of panda, red panda, kung-fu panda," Hyeon said. "But I've never seen a panda before so I really enjoyed it so far, so great experience for me."

"It's something different," Fognini said. "Saw a baby panda, a big one, red one, so it was a first experience and it was very nice."

Fognini will face No. 6 seed Matthew Ebden. Hyeon and Klahn didn't fare as well, falling in the first round.
