Musetti swept aside by Bu in Beijing

Should Lorenzo Musetti have made the trip to Beijing?

In great form since the grass-court season, but with a lot of time spent on court in recent weeks, the Italian couldn't get anything going on Sunday.

Faced with Yunchaokete Bu, invited by the organizers and very confident, the Transalpine simply didn't have enough energy.

Not very effective on serve and committing too many unforced errors, he logically lost in just under an hour and a half (6-2, 6-4).

Bu now joins the quarter-finals on home soil and will face the winner of the duel between Rublev and Davidovich Fokina in the last eight.
