Move over, tennis legends – there’s a new star rising from the Chinese mainland! Bu Yunchaokete, the 22-year-old phenom from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, just smashed his way into the #USOpen main draw, becoming only the fourth Chinese male player ever to achieve this feat. Talk about leveling up!
Bu’s journey reads like a sports anime: two years ago, he was ranked below 1,000. Now? He’s bagged ATP Challenger titles in Seoul and Wuxi, soared to World No. 164, and just delivered a jaw-dropping comeback against Russia’s third-seeded Aslan Karatsev. After losing the first set 6-1, Bu flipped the script to win 6-3, 6-4 – proving mental grit beats muscle memory any day.
This win places him alongside Chinese tennis icons Zhang Zhizhen, Wu Yibing, and Shang Juncheng. But here’s the kicker: Bu’s still the youngest in China’s current tennis vanguard. His secret? Calling tennis 'a mystical sport where you find joy through total commitment.'
Next stop: Flushing Meadows! Will Bu’s Cinderella story continue? Catch the action as he steps onto the Grand Slam stage for the first time – and watch history unfold.
