Post-match summary and analysis

1. The current results are quite expected given the difference in skill levels.
2. Chang Bingyu lacked the strength to challenge Selby, so being shut out 0-4 was quite normal.
3. Lei Peifan also wasn’t strong enough to compete with Mark Williams, so winning even one frame was already impressive.
4. Xiao Guodong, who is currently live, is behind and facing match point. Let’s hope he can give the Chinese team some hope by reaching the quarterfinals; otherwise, there won’t be much excitement left in this tournament!
