Post-match summary and reflections
Ding Junhui demonstrated the level of a defending champion today, showcasing exceptional skill in long-range shots and snooker tactics! He completely outplayed his opponent Holt, who had no chance to fight back. Special praise goes to Ding Junhui.
Xiao Guodong did not show his usual form today and was almost whitewashed by Schulte. Playing on home ground, what happened to Xiao Guodong? He became the first top 16 player to be eliminated, which calls for serious reflection.
Xu Si’s defeat was expected, considering his opponent Maguire’s strong ability.
We look forward to Zhou Yuelong and Pang Junxu overcoming their opponents and advancing to the next round.
