Post-match summary and reflections
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?
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.
