Yi lost to Ilia Simakin in the qualifying round of the Busan Open with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Yi had a difficult outing on his return from the injury. The 20-year-old, who was forced to retire during an ITF contest in March, converted just two break points out of seven, exactly half of what his opponent converted. He won 64 percent of service points as well.
