How many orders of magnitude is Wu Yibing's level lower than Bublik's? NO!

Objectively, Wu Yibing showed a good performance at the Hangzhou Open. Despite losing 3-6, 3-6 to Bublik in the semifinals, some people overstated the difference by claiming their levels differ by several orders of magnitude.

Bublik was in great form, making it hard for anyone to defeat him. However, saying their skills differ by multiple orders of magnitude is an exaggeration. Bublik is exceptionally gifted, with a highest ranking of 17 and currently 19. This indicates he is at his peak. This season, he has already won three titles and is likely to claim another one this time.

Wu Yibing is still struggling with his ranking and has played only a few tour-level tournaments this season. But regarding his skill level, at his best, he once defeated Fritz and Isner consecutively to win the Dallas title. If Wu Yibing can reach that level again, whether he can beat Bublik is uncertain, but his technical skill should not be vastly inferior. Fluctuations in form are normal, but technical ability remains intact; it’s just a matter of how well he performs on the day.

Unlike Medvedev, who is clearly behind the younger generation in terms of technique, most of the post-2000 generation players have comprehensive skills and are aggressive. Medvedev often struggles to keep up.

Personally, I think Wu Yibing's loss in this semifinal was due to his match strategy. He lost control throughout the match, especially in his service games. Actually, Bublik’s serve isn’t intimidating; Fritz’s serve is also top-level, and Isner’s serve is considered the best in tennis. Wu Yibing has handled them well before.

This was their first meeting, and Wu Yibing lacked experience. Against such a highly talented opponent, the key was to minimize errors and hold his service games with precision. Once the match moves into the opponent’s comfort zone, your own game gets suppressed, leading to a passive position.
