Wu Yibing, fresh from winning the men’s singles title at the National Games, begins his season at the Hong Kong Open, expressing confidence and hopes for a healthy year. The ATP 250-level tournament starts on October 5, with Wu Yibing facing Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics in his opening match.

Confident and Healthy Start

“Most players come here to win the game. I’m confident in myself, I feel good and can play wonderful tennis,” Wu Yibing said during a press conference.

“The first thing is to stay healthy. I hope I can play a full season this time. I hope to participate in all the events I want to participate in. My team is strong and I am in good condition. So I hope the Hong Kong (Open) can be a good start to the new year. At the same time, I think it is also very important to stay happy, because tennis is a lonely sport and the season is long.”
