After disappearing from the international arena for three years, the talented teenager Wu Yiyu finally made a comeback! It is interesting that even if he wins the championship, he will no longer be able to instantly stir up everyone's excitement like three years ago.
Wu Yiyu's last appearance on the international stage dates back to the 2018 Asian Games. At that time, under the guidance of foreign teachers, he made rapid progress, and his first appearance in the Asian Games broke into the singles final, which once made people have high hopes for this talented teenager, believing that the Asian Games would be the starting point for him to break out, and soon in the larger international arena for the Chinese men's tennis team that has been in the doldrums to play a new world, announcing the arrival of the new forces of the Chinese men's tennis.
Especially after seeing that the opponent in the final was Istomin, who had long since lost his courage, Wu Yiyu was regarded as a popular candidate to win the championship. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally defeated by Istomin and finally hated the Asian Games.
From Wu Yiyu's somewhat unconvinced face at that time, people thought that he would definitely seriously summarize this fiasco, and then rise strongly in the international arena the following year. Surprisingly, Wu Yiyu disappeared.
What was even more shocking was that the foreign teachers who had been painstakingly tuning him also left quickly. Especially the sentence dropped by the other party, "Wu Yiyu has the right to find a coach who is more consistent with his mother's point of view", which makes Wu Yiyu labeled as a mother treasure man.
Later, instead of seeing Wu Yiyu actively looking for coaches for greater development, he completely disappeared in the international arena.
It was not until he appeared on the Central Tour in 2020 that everyone saw Wu Yiyu's figure again.
At that time, everyone still had expectations for Wu Yiyu, thinking that after making adaptive adjustments, he would soon re-appear on the international stage and continue to shoot.
Surprisingly, Wu Yiyu took a path that was completely opposite to that of other talented teenagers.
Other talented teenagers have begun to jump on the international stage, hoping to get more victories from the masters, and even lifted one championship trophy after another. Wu Yiyu played tirelessly on the central tour without points, and it seemed that the international arena had completely lost its allure to him. Almost three years, Wu Yiyu is like this!
Many people have always wondered what is the purpose of Wu Yiyu wasting all his three years of good time in such a low-level arena in China? In order to survive, it seems that he does not lack this living expenses. The only explanation, then, is that Wu Yiyu may be afraid of international competitions, afraid of losing the battle with the masters. I just want to brush the sense of existence in the domestic arena, and I hope not to be forgotten by everyone.
Fortunately, Wu Yiyu finally seemed to figure it out and finally made a comeback at the ORANGE GARDEN M15 level of the ITF Challenge. Although the level is very different from the ATP Tour, it is a crucial step. In addition, he won the championship and improved his world ranking from more than 2,000 to more than 900, which is also a comeback first victory.
However, despite Wu Yiyu's brilliant performance, everyone still does not have much confidence in whether he can gain a foothold in the men's tennis world in the future and how far he can go, the reason is that the current men's tennis world has changed.
Three years ago, when Wu Yiyu first appeared on the international arena, he was still just a contest between the Big Three and the post-95 players. Now with the rise of the post-00s players represented by the Spanish teenager Alcaraz, it has shown a three-legged trend of giants, post-95s and post-00s. The competition in the men's tennis arena is cruel, and people can see the smoke everywhere.
This also shows from another side that now Wu Yiyu has more competitors, and one is stronger than the other, which also puts forward higher requirements for him. If you want to make a difference in the men's tennis world and stand firm, you must play quickly, and in every major game, you can't break the chain like before, and you must play your good state to the extreme. Otherwise, whether his confidence can be quickly destroyed by the current masters is unknown.
In fact, if you think about it, Wu Yiyu is nostalgic for the domestic arena and gives up the three years of participating in the international arena, which is really regrettable. He really missed the best time for a player to enrich his own big-game experience and the best time to shape his steely will and confidence. Now that everything is starting from scratch, the difficulty is growing geometrically.
It is said that silence is for better outbreaks! Wu Yiyu, who disappeared from the international arena for three years, now returns to win the championship, will he really break out and become a fierce rival that many masters in the men's tennis world cannot ignore? Let's wait and see! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Starry Sky of The Moon River)
