The second set saw Wu ramp up his game even further. He held his serve flawlessly in the first three games and broke Jarry twice, skyrocketing to a 5-0 lead. Despite Jarry managing to hold serve in the sixth game, Wu's exceptional serves and relentless play sealed the match just a game later.
After his victory, Wu shared his excitement, saying, \"I felt great. I played well today. It might be one of the best-performing matches of my career. Jarry is a heavy hitter. I had prepared a lot for the battle.\" 🙌
