Post-Match Analysis
This outcome is very disappointing, with all national players eliminated and none making it to the quarterfinals.
Chang Bingyu’s loss to Selby is understandable, as he was simply outplayed by his opponent.
Lei Peifan’s defeat to veteran Williams is also reasonable, given the strong ability of his adversary.
Xiao Guodong had the best chance to win and reach the quarterfinals since the skill gap between him and his opponent was small, and he was even considered stronger. Unfortunately, he did not perform well during the match and lost 2-4 to McGill, which is very regrettable.
