The Chinese tennis team won one gold and one silver medal at the Paris Olympics, igniting domestic tennis fever. As the first Chinese male tennis player to win the atp tour championship of the China Tennis Association, Wu Yibing also overcame injuries and started a comeback of his own.

html On August 24, Wu Yibing, who participated in the ATP Challenger Jinan Station as a wild card, defeated Noguchi Noguchi, the No. 5 seed, 7-5/6-3 in the final, and won the championship in the first leg of his comeback. This is Wu Yibing's fifth challenge title, and it will also be a boost for him to get back into the top 50.

At the award ceremony after the game, Wu Yibing asked the audience to applaud his opponent Noguchi Reo, "It is not easy for everyone to reach the finals in such hot weather. Including him, there will be doubles finals later. I hope everyone can Give him a little applause."

Then Wu Yibing also thanked the fans for coming to the game to support him, "Thank you fans for coming to watch the game. Without you, I might not be where I am now. Thank you all. "More importantly, winning the championship after his comeback gave him more confidence and courage," I cried a little after the second game that night. I was very happy to win this championship as my professional career. A new beginning for his career."

He also hopes that fans can cheer for all Chinese players participating in low-level competitions while paying attention to large-scale competitions. "We are all working hard for a common goal. I hope everyone will join me in promoting this. The development of Chinese tennis. Support Chinese tennis, support our Chinese men’s tennis players, thank you!”

Like his friend Zhang Zhizhen, Wu Yibing is the leader of the younger generation of Chinese men’s tennis, and was once the “big brother” of the Chinese men’s tennis. He won the first ATP Tour championship for the China Tennis Association in 2022, and then once again raised the world ranking to 54th.

Wu Yibing showed off the calluses on his hands on his personal social network.

However, injuries always become an untimely stumbling block on his way to breakthrough. After the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, he chose to undergo minimally invasive surgery on his left foot to repair the fracture that had not fully healed when he was young. Wu Yibing, who returned at the Houston Open in April this year, lost to Thompson in the first round of the main draw. Later, he had to give up the next event due to a shoulder injury to undergo treatment and rehabilitation.

Breaking through himself and balancing physical health became Wu Yibing's biggest challenge, but he did not give up. After a 4-month layoff, he returned to the competition and brought the surprise of winning the championship after his comeback.

After the game, Wu Yibing also wrote emotionally on social networks: "There are two empty spaces on the shoulders, which are courage and perseverance."

With the ATP Challenger Jinan Championship victory, Wu Yibing will gain 50 points and a bonus of US$5,660. , at the same time, his instant ranking also rose to 416th. Next, Wu Yibing will also compete in the Hangzhou Open in his hometown next month.
