Post-match summary
Among the five Chinese players competing in the round of 16, two have advanced, which is excellent. We look forward to Jiang Jun causing an upset by defeating Maguire to reach the quarterfinals.
Zhao Xintong’s performance today is commendable! He swept the in-form Si Jiahui 6-1, demonstrating top-level skill. We hope he continues winning in the upcoming matches.
Si Jiahui was completely off his game today and was thoroughly dominated by Zhao Xintong. This might be what is called a total rout. We anticipate better performances from Si Jiahui in the future.
Before today’s match, almost no one expected Wu Yize to win. Especially when world number one Trump led 4-0, many of us had already turned off the TV. Who would have thought Wu Yize could stage a six-frame comeback to eliminate Trump? Such an extreme turnaround usually only happens in dramas, yet it actually occurred in real life. Wu Yize deserves high praise.
Today, Ding Junhui appeared like a complete rookie against Shaun Murphy. Lacking confidence and making frequent mistakes, he has now lost three consecutive matches this year to Murphy. Ding Junhui, wake up—you are China’s top snooker player. You need to prove your worth and show that you are number one.
We hope Jiang Jun can cause an upset by defeating Maguire and achieve a comeback victory!
