The newest news from the Snooker Wuhan Open: two quarterfinal matches finished recently, with Xiao Guodong advancing to the semifinals and Zhang Anda suffering a heavy loss and exiting the tournament.

In the recently finished quarterfinal, Xiao Guodong eliminated Moody 5-2, comfortably securing his spot in the semifinals.

In the other quarterfinal, Zhang Anda was soundly defeated 1-5 by Mark Williams and was eliminated from the competition.

Post-match summary and reflections

1. Xiao Guodong truly lives up to his title as defending champion, delivering an outstanding performance and easily overcoming this dark horse. His defense of the title moves forward. Tomorrow’s semifinal against Mark Williams will be a crucial test; a victory there would make him a strong favorite for the championship.
2. Zhang Anda was powerless against Mark Williams. In a battle between top players, even a small mistake is costly. Unfortunately, Zhang Anda often gave Williams such chances, so losing was hardly surprising. Nevertheless, reaching the quarterfinals is already a great achievement for Zhang Anda, deserving praise and encouragement.

Attached is tonight’s (August 28, 2025) schedule: Si Jiahui will face Mark Allen, broadcast live on Yangshipin. Everyone is welcome to watch, hoping Si Jiahui wins and advances to the semifinals.
