The Snooker Xuzhou Superstar Invitational today (2025.10.5) includes Trump, Selby, and Wilson competing, broadcast live on Huya.
The matches follow a best-of-9 frames format, first to 5 wins, and today's schedule has been finalized as detailed below.
At 2:30 PM this afternoon, Trump will face Selby.
At 7:30 PM tonight, Trump will take on Wilson.
Event Preview
For the first match, since it is an exhibition, everyone likely wants a quick finish, so an aggressive style is expected. I think Trump might narrowly win 5-4.
In the second match, being an invitational, the players probably won’t be as serious as in ranking events, focusing more on enjoyment. Both will likely showcase impressive long potting, with fewer safety battles, daring to attempt difficult shots. I predict Trump will lose 4-5 to Wilson.
Unfortunately, only one Chinese player, Xiao Guodong, has been invited to this kind of friendly event. As a fan of snooker in China, I prefer watching domestic players or matches between local and foreign players. Hopefully, future invitational events will follow this approach, otherwise many people simply won’t pay attention.
