Wu Yixuan: Treat this comeback with a more relaxed attitude

On May 20, local time, Chinese player Wu Yixuan lost to former US Open champion Cilic 2-6/3-6 in the first round of the French Open qualifying round.

Wu Yixuan revealed interesting details in the post-match interview: "I happened to train with him on Sunday, and I came out of the draw after practice. When we were training, he beat me 6-2 as well, but it was worse that day than today, and he completely suppressed it. Talking about the performance, he said, "He has more experience, the ball quality is better than mine, it is actually nothing if he loses, he is not as good as others, and the clay is not my best court, it will not have a particularly big impact on confidence, but let me have a better goal, to learn how to beat the player who is better on the clay or has a stronger baseline ability." ”

Wu Yixuan made a comeback at last week's clay challenger, his last time he participated was this year's Miami Masters, and the last time was last year's Shanghai Masters, talking about the comeback, he said: "I had elbow surgery after playing at the Shanghai Masters last year, and after I recovered, I participated in the Miami Masters, and I was a little sick after the fight, so I delayed it for a while, and I just came to play the clay season. Since becoming a professional player, I haven't had the opportunity to travel outside, so Miami has taken some time off since then. Then I came back last week after two weeks of training, and I think I did a good job, and although the results in the past two weeks have not been particularly good, it is a confidence boost for me and the whole team to be able to play and finish the competition successfully. ”

Wu Yixuan revealed that the current coach is Dante Bottini, who briefly coached Zheng Qinwen at the beginning of this year: "Now I have updated my team, the coach is more familiar with the past, he has led Xiao Shang and Xiao Zheng, we have been training at IMG before, so at present, it seems that we are slowly getting back on track." ”

After a long absence, Wu said that he will take a more relaxed attitude towards the new journey: "This French Open is the last time I can use the protection ranking, and then I will go back to the United States to start again from the hope tournament, because the current ranking cannot play most of the challengers. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to play all the time, like Bou, who plays every game, but I'm actually quite envious, he's in good health and can play every week. ”

"Every time I come back, it's been a long time, but I've been looking for a chance to compete again while I'm training. I played in China for a period of time last year, and I withdrew due to physical reasons, I think it was more psychological, because I put a lot of energy into the competition, and my mind was very tense, and my body had some abnormal reactions, which caused my muscles to strain easily. I've learned from my experience, so this year I think I should approach this comeback with a more relaxed mind. Actually, I wasn't particularly worried about my ranking, because I had never been ranked before, and it took me a year to reach around 100, so I believe in my level. ”
