Post-match summary and reflections

1. Praise is due to Zhou Yuelong for consecutively defeating Barry Hawkins and Mark Williams, showcasing his strong ability.
2. Ding Junhui reaching the last 16 is commendable, but his performance in the early hours of today’s match was disappointing. After taking a 3-0 lead and reaching match point, he was surprisingly eliminated by Mark Allen with four consecutive frames—a truly unfortunate and embarrassing outcome.
3. Wu Yize losing to Selby is quite expected given the difference in their skill levels.
