Post-match analysis

1. These results are generally expected; the biggest disappointment is Zhao Xintong’s elimination.
2. Only one national player advanced today, which is unfortunate; even more regrettable is that most lost 3-4 at match point.
3. Zhao Xintong has been in poor form this year and seems not to have reached the semifinals. Zhao Xintong, keep fighting! Bring out your World Championship level! You can date, but your career is more important!
4. Praise is due to Lei Peifan, the only one who advanced; keep it up and push on to the last 16.
5. We also look forward to Chang Bingyu winning and advancing to the last 16.
