beijing news (chief reporter sun haiguang) entering the chinese season, 22-year-old buyunchaoket performed like a god. in the second round of the china open men's singles match that ended on september 29, xiaobu defeated italian player musetti 2-0, becoming another chinese player to reach the top eight of the china open men's singles after zhang ze in 2012. male tennis player.
before september this year, xiaobu had only won one game on the tour, which was against serbian player kecmanovic in the first round of the atp (international men's tennis association) shanghai masters last year. but after entering the chinese season, xiaobu's performance is eye-catching. the previous week at the hangzhou open, xiaobu, who participated as a wild card, reached the semi-finals and entered the top 100 in the world rankings for the first time.
coming to beijing, xiaobu defeated shang chengcheng in the first round of the "chinese derby" and ushered in the opportunity to challenge musetti, the men's singles bronze medalist at the paris olympics. musetti, who was born in march 2002, is two months younger than xiaobu, but has been famous for a long time and is currently ranked 19th in the world.
when talking about this game before the game, xiaobu said that the two are similar in age and have played youth games together, but the other party is now not only a top 20 player, but also a father off the court, and is much more mature than himself. "i have always admired him. his tennis looks very artistic." xiaobu said.
when he came to the court, xiaobu, who was at a disadvantage in ranking, strength, and experience, was actually the one who performed better. after winning the first set 6-2, xiaobu once led 4-1 in the second set, but was chased by musetti for three consecutive games. at the critical moment, xiaobu stabilized the situation and secured the victory 6-4, defeating the top 20 players for the first time in his career. for musetti, this is the third consecutive time he has lost to a chinese player this season. musetti lost to shang juncheng in the previous chengdu open final, and also lost to zhang zhizhen in doha at the beginning of the year.
from the challenge to the tour quickly, xiaobu still needs time to adapt. he said that when playing against high-ranking players, he felt that there was not much difference after one set, but after playing for a long time, the problems were exposed. "i want to maintain my level for a longer period of time and be able to play stably for two or three hours. this is a challenge for me." xiaobu said that the competition on the tour is very fierce, and he needs to continue to break through and compete in a larger competition. play a sharper offense under pressure, so that you can slowly integrate into this circle.
the men's event at the china open is an atp 500 event, and you can earn 100 points by advancing to the quarterfinals. this helped xiaobu raise his instant world ranking to a career-high 83rd, basically locking in a seat in the men's singles main draw of next year's australian open.
as his ranking and status continue to improve, xiaobu's confidence has also grown. coach yu jinxing said that xiaobu now hits the ball earlier than before, is more daring to go forward, and is more confident on the court. in the quarterfinals, xiaobu will face the winner between rublev and fokina.
