Post-match summary and reflections

1. Out of 11 national players, only 4 advanced; overall performance was average.
2. Zhao Xintong finally delivered an excellent performance last night, starting strong with three consecutive frames against Bingham. Although his opponent took one frame back, Zhao quickly responded and won 4-1 decisively. He deserves praise, and we look forward to his strong showing in the next round to keep advancing.
3. Zhang Anda was nearly upset by female player Bai Yulu, which was a bit awkward. Fortunately, a snooker in the final frame caused Bai Yulu to lose over 20 points in penalties, allowing Zhang Anda to narrowly win.
4. Xiao Guodong performed well, playing steadily and advancing to the next round with a victory. We hope he can deliver an even stronger performance in the upcoming match.
5. Chang Bingyu’s win over Long Zehuang was not surprising, considering his excellent form in recent tournaments.
6. Other national players’ losses are understandable, as their opponents are all very high-level athletes.
