DALLAS (AP) — Wu Yibing is the the first Chinese player to win an ATP Tour title after rallying in a three-set, all-tiebreaker thriller to beat John Isner in the Dallas Open. Wu overcame 44 aces from the big-serving Isner. That total is one shy of a three-set record. The 23-year-old Wu was the first Chinese player in an ATP final. Wu also came back from a set down to beat top-seeded American Taylor Fritz in the semifinals. Isner was trying to win his hometown event in its second year.
