Post-match summary and reflections

1. All eight first-round matches of the Masters have concluded, each ending with a 6-2 scoreline. There must be some significance behind this pattern—could it be a sign that one of our players will claim the championship?
2. In the opening match, Ding Junhui showed almost no counterattack strength; in his recent encounters, he has consistently lost. Trump truly seems to be Ding’s nemesis.

• Neil Robertson performed excellently, achieving three century breaks, demonstrating his strong form throughout the match. With four consecutive frames won to seal the match, Robertson is a strong contender for this Masters title.
