Post-match summary and reflections

1. First of all, congratulations to Wu Yize for defeating Zhao Xintong and reaching the final.
2. The final opponent will be the winner between Maguire and Higgins. Who do you think will face Wu Yize in the final?
3. Wu Yize showed an amazingly strong form today, eliminating world number one Trump, Hawkins, and World Championship winner Zhao Xintong to reach the final. I believe that regardless of who his final opponent is, as long as he keeps this form, the title will be his.
4. Some netizens criticized Zhao Xintong’s girlfriend, blaming her for his loss. Actually, that’s unfair. Zhao reaching the semifinals is already a great achievement. We should recognize his progress and understand his defeat. No one can win all the time! Let's applaud Zhao Xintong and give him thumbs up!
5. The final will be a best-of-19 frames match, starting at 2 PM the day after tomorrow, broadcast live on CCTV Video. Additionally, the other semifinal will begin tomorrow at 2 PM, also live on CCTV Video.
