Too much pressure?

Bu is struggling in China at the moment and admits he is tense on court because of the pressure of playing at home.

Not at all the results expected for Bu in this start of the Asian season, he disappoints himself. It's a shame because he's not having a bad season at all, I have the impression that he's often good but he doesn't win much. Not a real strong weapon or weakness, he's good everywhere without excelling anywhere. Opposite JM Cerundolo started his Asian season strong with a challenger title before playing a good match against Sonego, he's a pain to play. His game on hard is a little less effective and it's a little easier to beat him but hey he's still there and I wouldn't like to play him. It's a good trap match for Bu who will have to build his points cleverly and not rush into the exchange, I want to believe in him because he wants to show a good face before going back to Europe and this draw is frankly correct. He will be a little messy and probably tense at the end of sets but I give him the advantage of the level of play on hard, he will not crack as easily from the back as some of the opponents that Cerundolo made crack on hard. Not an easy match but within the Chinese's reach in my opinion
