Wu Yibing tops Isner, is 1st from China with ATP Tour title
Wu Yibing became the first Chinese player to win an ATP Tour title, rallying in a three-set, all-tiebreaker thriller to beat John Isner in the Dallas Open on Sunday. Wu overcame 44 aces from the big-serving Isner — one shy of tying a three-set record — and four match points in the 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 7-6 (12) victory. The 23-year-old was the first Chinese player in an ATP final. Wu also came back from a set down to beat top-seeded American Taylor Fritz in the semifinals. There were no service breaks in Wu’s victory over the fifth-seeded Isner, who was playing in his hometown tournament.
吴易昺成为第一位赢得 ATP 巡回赛冠军的中国球员,他在周日的达拉斯公开赛上经过三盘全部进入“抢七”的激战,击败了约翰·伊斯内尔。吴易昺在这场比赛中面对发球大王伊斯内尔的 44 个 ace 球——差一个就能追平三盘比赛中 ace 数量的纪录——以及四个赛点,以 6-7(4)、7-6(3)、7-6(12)的比分获得胜利。这位 23 岁的选手也是第一位进入 ATP 决赛的中国人。吴易昺在半决赛中也是在落后一盘的情况下,击败了头号种子美国选手泰勒·弗里茨。 在吴易昺战胜五号种子伊斯内尔的比赛中,没有破掉对手的发球局,而这场比赛是在伊斯内尔的家乡达拉斯进行的。
