Taylor Fritz defeated Yibin Wu

China’s Wu, ranked 97th in the world, won after two hours and 33 minutes of play against the American Fritz (8 ATP), score (3) 6-7, 7-5, 6-4.

In the first final of his career, Yibin will meet the experienced John Isner (39 ATP/favourite 5), after he defeated Jeffrey John Wolff (43 ATP/6), score 3-6, 7-5, 7- 6(4 ).

Know:

  • John Isner has 16 titles and lost 14 more finals.
  • With his performance in Dallas (he also defeated Michael Mmoh, Denis Shapovalov and Adrian Mannarino), Yibing Wu will make a spectacular jump in the ATP rankings. In the real-time ranking, the Chinese is in 76th place, and for the victories in the last act, he would have been in 57th place.
