Post-match summary and reflections
The national players’ performance today was somewhat disappointing and needs improvement!
So far, only Ding Junhui and Zhao Xintong have advanced to the last 32 today; other players need to push harder and fight on!
It is especially regrettable that Xiao Guodong lost heavily 1-6 to Schulte and must seriously reflect. Zhou Yuelong, who reached the semifinals in the previous event, was eliminated in the second round today — very unfortunate.
Pang Junxu, Xu Si, and Fan Zhengyi were also eliminated one after another, which is quite upsetting!
However, the four players still competing are performing exceptionally well. Whether Wang Xinzhong can cause an upset against Shaun Murphy, and Huang Jiahao can shock Barry Hawkins remains to be seen. Based on current form, Lei Peifan’s victory over Liu Wenwei looks quite likely.
