With the score tied at 11-11 in the first game, Zhang began walking towards the net to hit the shuttlecock over to his opponent to serve. Shortly after the move, Zhang stumbled before falling to the ground. He received treatment on-site before being rushed to a hospital via ambulance but passed away after failed resuscitation efforts.
