Match Preview
Firstly, it is unfortunate that Zhao Xintong has been eliminated. He missed a crucial winning shot, resulting in a 3-0 defeat by Higgins, who knocked him out with a triple whitewash.
Today, Wu Yize faces Xiao Guodong, ensuring at least one Chinese player reaches the semifinals, which is excellent. So who will advance? I feel Wu Yize has more momentum and a higher chance to win. However, Xiao Guodong should not be underestimated, as he eliminated Selby and is also very strong.
The second match features the world number two against the world number three. Who will make it to the semifinals? I favor Neil Robertson, as he has historically shown stronger dominance and recently achieved more impressive results!
