“Most players come here to win the game. I am confident in myself, I feel good and can play wonderful tennis.” Wu Yibing said.

Talking about his wishes for the new season, Wu Yibing said: “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.”

In difficult times and when there is a lot of pressure, I can withstand it and achieve my goals. This will be a great motivation for my future career.”

“The level of domestic players is also very high now. As far as the level of the National Games is concerned, it can be said to be no less than any ATP250 competition. Everyone has left their best in the National Games. I am also very happy that I can do it and win the game.” He said. (Reporter Li Jia)
