Event preview.

1. Of the four round of 16 matches already completed, only Pang Junxu has advanced to the quarterfinals; Si Jiahui, Wu Yize, and Zhou Yuelong were all eliminated.
2. Today, Zhao Xintong, Ding Junhui, and Zhang Anda will compete. How many of these national players will reach the quarterfinals? Personally, I think at most two.
3. In the first round of 16 match, Zhao Xintong is expected to defeat Zhang Anda to reach the quarterfinals, as Zhao is in good form. The only caution is Zhang Anda’s slow style, so patience is required; otherwise, Zhao might lose.
4. Ding Junhui has a strong chance against Donaldson; it depends on Ding’s performance under pressure. I hope he can win and advance to the quarterfinals, even though he is no longer at his peak.
5. For the other two matches, I believe Higgins and Hawkins have a higher probability of winning and reaching the quarterfinals. What do you think?
