Wu Yibing served notice to the world on Sunday that Chinese men's tennis is on the rise after capturing a milestone Grand Slam boys' singles title at the US Open.

The 17-year-old second seed from Hangzhou became China's first boys' Slam singles champion by defeating Argentina's top-seeded Axel Geller 6-4, 6-4.

"I think this is showing ourselves and showing the world Chinese boys can be good and better - and Chinese men," Wu said.
