Post-match Summary and Reflection

1. Neil Robertson’s victory over Tom Ford in the first group match was expected, given Ford’s current level compared to Robertson.
2. In the second group match, Xiao Guodong was very unfortunate. He reached a match point early but was overturned by Higgins. After five frames, Xiao led 3-2 and had a match point, but Higgins won two consecutive frames to come back, resulting in Xiao’s disappointing exit.
3. In the group final, Neil Robertson eliminated Higgins 6-4. It seems Higgins’ age and fatigue may have affected his performance.
