We will undergo a food poisoning test, and Wu Yibing insists on playing due to illness. During the competition, he feels very uncomfortable. He pauses, goes down, comes back, and plays in the men's singles. He also believes in the competition
In the first round of men's singles at Wimbledon, which ended on the 5th, Chinese player Wu Yibing lost to the 10th seed of the US men's singles, Tiafu, with a score of 6:7, 3:6, and 4:6, marking his third consecutive Grand Slam game in a row.
Wu Yibing applied for a medical pause at the beginning of the second set, when he seemed to have difficulty breathing and kept pressing his chest and neck with his hands. In an interview after the game, Wu Yibing stated that he may have had "problems" with the food he had eaten before.
"I don't know where I choked or got food poisoning after eating, but I'm also waiting for a check-up," Wu Yibing said in an interview after the game.
"I didn't expect it at all before the game, but as the game progressed, I became increasingly uncomfortable. After coming back from the medical pause, it still had some impact because I needed to breathe hard, and by the third set at 2:3, my entire abdomen was cramped."
Although there was no surprise, Wu Yibing's performance in this game was not completely at a disadvantage, and he even had a slight advantage in winning points and non forced errors. Wu Yibing himself also believes that he played quite well.
"There is no denying that there is a gap between us and top players, after all, they have more experience, and we are slowly exploring. Losing some close matches is good for us, of course winning is even better."
Wu Yibing said, "I recently saw an article that said excellent and top-notch people are not reflected in smooth times, but how to adjust themselves when things are not going well."
"I think Djokovic is the same. Even in times of adversity, he can withstand pressure and quickly adjust. But now I can only do it when I am happy. Sometimes when I am not satisfied with myself, I still fall into it."
Since last season's US Open, there has been more than one Chinese player on the main court of men's singles for four consecutive Grand Slams. Wu Yibing admitted that he could feel the beliefs of many people carrying him forward - "not only our team, but also our friends, and many others related to tennis.".
"At the beginning, the pressure was quite high, but now we have two people, and there may be more in the future. Another important thing is my own belief. I really want to be the one who breaks through history. Looking back now, it doesn't seem that difficult to reach the top 100, but the effort behind us is still important and can inspire many other young players," said Wu Yibing.
