On August 26, 2025, at the Snooker Wuhan Open, eight national players competed, finishing with 3 wins, 4 losses, and 1 match still undecided; Zhao Xintong lost and was eliminated, which is quite heartbreaking.

The national players achieved a 3-4-1 record, with details shown in the image below.

1. Xiao Guodong, Si Jiahui, and Zhang Anda secured victories to reach the round of 16.
2. Zhao Xintong, Chang Bingyu, Zhou Yuelong, and Lei Peifan were defeated and knocked out of the tournament.
3. The match between Yuan Sijun and Higgins was still ongoing at the time of this report; Yuan Sijun is currently trailing 3-4 behind Higgins. Looking forward to good news.

Post-match summary

1. Out of eight national players, only three or four advanced to the last 16, which is far from ideal.
2. Zhao Xintong didn’t perform well, struggling with long-range shots and making frequent errors, completely unlike his form during the World Championship. Does anyone know why? Please share if you have insights.
3. Lei Peifan’s tactical and technical level seems to be declining, and Zhou Yuelong’s skills have dropped significantly, even breaking Ding Junhui’s usual pattern.
4. Fortunately, defending champion Xiao Guodong won his match to move on to the next round; we hope he can successfully defend his title.
