"I need to keep going": Wu Yibing not resting on his laurels after incredible Dallas Open win

Wu Yibing won his maiden trophy at the Dallas Open by beating John Isner in a crazy final but the Chinese player is ready for more, he's not content with this.

Wu was a prominent talent growing up but injuries kept him away from the game for over three years. He's now back in full health and that talent is showing in a major way. He bested some great players en route to his maiden ATP trophy run in Dallas but he's not going to stop here. He wants more:

“I feel happy. It’s not only about winning the title. It’s more about me personally making history, also for the country. It’s huge for the next generation. For me, I need to keep going, keep my body healthy and I’m sure there’s more to come.”

He also touched upon his story and the hardships he had to endure to be in this place right now:

“I’ve been through a lot of things. I’ve been through injuries, I’ve been through many difficult situations when I was growing up. I think the reason why I’m relaxed now on the tennis court is because I trust myself. If you want to beat me, you have to work hard. Of course there were a lot of doubts because I did surgery and the rehab wasn’t going well. It took longer than it should [have], but it turned out I’m here. I’d be [lying] if I said 100 per cent I’m going to be here today. But the process is always the most important thing. I trust myself and I work hard for it. In the gym, on the tennis court, off the court, I always think about tennis. The way I look at tennis, now it’s more relaxing, more enjoyable than before.”
