A first-round contest at the\u00a0Huafa Properties Zhuhai Championships between Mackenzie McDonald and\u00a0Shang Juncheng produced a heartwarming moment when McDonald gave his injured foe a piggyback back to his seat at the end of their match.<\/p>\n

The match, which was eventually won by McDonald\u00a06-4, 6-7(3), 6-3 was tightly contested up until a late fall from Shang appeared to affect his movement. As the match concluded, McDonald jogged over to his opponent to shake his hand but upon realising he would struggle to make it back to the side of the court unassisted, the American gave Shang a helping hand.<\/p>\n

The act of generosity was well received by fans who clapped and cheered as the World No 39 carried Shang back to his seat. Shang appeared to appreciate the gesture as well as he giggled and milked the applause.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew he was struggling so I ran to him to shake his hand,\u201d McDonald told ATPTour.com. \u201cHe said, \u2018Good match\u2019, and he said, \u2018Can you help me to the bench?\u2019 I said, \u2018Hop on\u2019. So he jumped on my back and I carried him over to the bench and he said, \u2018Good match, man.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
