The Chinese player made it to the US Open's main draw, knocking out Aslan Karatsev's likes. However, Bu did not make it past the first round, losing to Casper Ruud in straight sets. Against the Norwegian, Bu only put up a fight in the first game, which ended in a tie-break. After the Majors, the Chinese lost to the Polmans in Shanghai and played two Davis Cup matches for the national team, losing to Kretsu and beating Boytan. In Hangzhou, Yunchaokete has already beaten Frenchman Gaston, ranked 77th in the world, in straight sets 7-5, 6-3. The match against the Frenchman lasted one hour and 42 minutes, with Bu hitting 9 aces and one double fault, winning 82% of the points on his first serve and 64% on his second. Return statistics: 34%/48%, winners/unforced errors statistics 23/28.
Karen Khachanov
The hardcourt part of the season has not gone well for Karen so far. A collapse at the Washington tournament, early exits from the Masters in Montreal and Cincinnati, and a first-round exit at the US Open at the hands of veteran Brit Evans. We haven't seen Khachanov on court since the 27th of August, more than three weeks ago, so let's see if the Russian has managed to prepare correctly for the end of the season or if Karen's losing streak will continue.
Expert Betting Tips
This match will depend on Karen Khachanov's tone and mood. Khachanov has had three weeks to regain his form after failing in the New World tournaments, during which time he has been able to rest and gain strength and motivation. Bu is a second-hundred-ranked player, the only advantage being that the Chinese is playing in his home country, but it is evident that there is a big difference in class between the two guys, the only question is whether the Russian will be able to show his absolute level in the first match on Chinese soil. If he can, it's unlikely that Bu will be much of an obstacle for Karen.
