Details of earlier completed matches are shown in the image below.

1. Fan Zhengyi was eliminated after a 3-4 defeat to Slessor.

3. Yuan Sijun secured a 4-1 win over Wells to reach the last 32.

Post-match summary

1. First of all, congratulations to Zhou Yuelong and Yuan Sijun for their victories and advancing to the next round — well done.
2. Secondly, it’s very unfortunate for Fan Zhengyi and Chang Bingyu, both losing in the deciding frames. With just a bit more effort, they might have won and moved forward.
3. Lei Peifan did not perform at his best and needs to improve his skills and tactics. If he can replicate the level that helped him eliminate Kyren Wilson in the first round of the World Championship, that would be great!

Also, today Zhang Anda and Si Jiahui will compete; let’s hope they win and advance to the next round!
