Pre-match predictions

1. Today, eight Chinese players will compete, with 4 to 5 expected to win and advance to the next round.
2. Yao Pengcheng is almost certain to lose, as he faces Shaun Murphy, the recent UK Open champion. Based on current form, Yao lacks the strength to challenge Murphy.
3. Lei Peifan, Wu Yize, Pang Junxu, and Chang Bingyu have higher chances of winning due to their superior skills, though performance on the day will be decisive.
4. Gao Yang, Lan Yuhao, and Jia Jiahao have a greater chance of losing, but if they perform well, they could still secure a victory and move to the next round.

Friendly reminder: Many top players’ matches, domestic and international, will be postponed to the main event held in Nanjing, China on 2025.11.2. Details are shown in the image below. Matches include Zhao Xintong vs. Brown, Ding Junhui vs. Grace, Xiao Guodong vs. Hallett, etc. Ding Junhui is the defending champion—will he succeed in defending his title?
