Original title: Advance to ATP Houston main draw (title)
Wu Yibing returns from injury and starts again (theme)
Beijing Daily (Reporter Zhuo Ran) On April 1st, Beijing time, the ATP250 level men’s singles qualifying final round in Houston ended, and China Tennis Association player Wu Yibing successfully entered the main draw. Returning to the competition after half a year, Wu Yibing bluntly said that his mentality has changed a lot, and he hopes to improve his condition through training and return to the tour stage as soon as possible.
Last year, Wu Yibing won the ATP Dallas men’s singles championship and became the first mainland Chinese male player to win the ATP Tour singles championship. His highest world ranking was once close to the top 50. However, after the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, Wu Yibing underwent left foot surgery and then entered a long recovery period. In the six months since he left the game, his world ranking has dropped to No. 268.
After returning after half a year, Wu Yibing participated as a wild card. During the game, he showed good form and entered the main draw after defeating Tabor and Yevseyev.
Talking about his recovery process from injury, Wu Yibing said: “After the operation, I couldn’t get out of bed for two to three weeks. Then I slowly removed the plaster and put on protective gear, and I wore it for a month and a half. You can only get out of bed with crutches. You can do some adjustment training in the next month and a half, and then gradually start strength training.”
The long period of recuperation and recovery caused Wu Yibing to change his mentality. He said that returning to the court this time will not put too much pressure on himself, and hopes to enjoy tennis on the basis of staying healthy. “I look forward to performing well in the clay court season, although this is not a surface that I am good at. I hope that through During this period of training, I have performed better than before. I also hope to return to the Grand Slam and ATP Tour through low-level competitions.”
After winning two games in a row, Wu Yibing entered the Houston race. This performance is also related to the changes in his coaching staff. Wu Yibing said: “I now have two coaches. Ferreira is mainly responsible for my games in the United States, and the other Baghdatis is more responsible for my games in Europe. I need to make some improvements in the weak links of my playing style. For example, when serving and sometimes making forehands, it is easy to make unforced errors.”
In the first round of the Houston station, Wu Yibing will face Thompson, the No. 6 seed.
