1. Xiao Guodong defeated Selt 5-2 to reach the quarterfinals.
2. Zhang Anda edged out Hill 5-4 to advance to the quarterfinals.
3. Additionally, Moody advanced to the quarterfinals with a 5-0 win over Hawkins, and Williams moved on by beating Selby 5-3.

Post-match summary and reflections

1. Xiao Guodong truly lives up to being the defending champion with his strong performance. However, facing Moody in the quarterfinals will be the real test to prove his championship caliber.
2. Zhang Anda, known as the grinder, finally defeated Hill. It was a close escape from a potential comeback by his opponent. Tomorrow’s quarterfinal against Williams—does he still have a chance to win and advance?
3. Moody and the veteran Ma are impressive, continuously eliminating top players one after another.

Attached is tonight’s (August 27, 2025) schedule. Starting at 7:30 PM, four more round of 16 matches will be played. Si Jiahui faces Maguire, with free live broadcast on Huya platform. Looking forward to Si Jiahui avenging Zhao Xintong tonight!
