The Great Wall Wu Yibing vs The Mountain Ben Shelton | UTS Los Angeles by Builder.ai Semi-Final

Two of UTS Los Angeles most entertaining players-Yibing “The Great Wall” Wu and Ben “The Mountain” Shelton clash for a spot in the Grand Final on Day 3 of UTS Los Angeles.
With a packed-out crowd, trash talk flowed thick and fast despite the high stakes of the match. At one stage, The Great Wall revealed that Shelton had invited him out the night before, but he opted to stay home and sleep.
Perhaps that was Wu’s secret, as the Chinese player claimed a tight opening quarter 17-15, putting one foot in the Grand Final. Shelton roared back into contention, however, executing one of the most one-sided quarters of the entire tournament as he went 20-5 to square the match up at 1-1.
Wu was a picture of expression on the court, playing ninja with balls that soared passed the baseline, throwing air-punches at Shelton and engaging the crowd beautifully. His perfect balance of “having fun, but at the same time trying to win the match” bore fruit, with the next two quarters falling his way, 20-15 and 17-11.
The victory sees Wu book a spot in the UTS Los Angeles final, where he plays home favourite Taylor Fritz, a match that couldn’t feature a greater contrast of on-court personas.
