Post-match summary and reflections

1. First of all, congratulations to Si Jiahui for winning and reaching the last 16, earning £15,000 in prize money. It is also unfortunate that Lv Haotian was eliminated.
2. The results of the four matches on the first day of the main event matched the pre-match predictions exactly, as the skill gaps between the players were significant.
3. Si Jiahui’s clean 6-0 sweep over Ryan Day was due to his outstanding performance. His long potting and safety play were clearly superior, while Ryan Day appeared lacking in confidence and made frequent unforced errors under pressure.
4. Although Trump won, his form seemed average, suggesting this defending champion might struggle to retain his title. Higgins and Shaun Murphy played very strongly, and one of them is likely to reach the semifinals.

Today’s schedule (2025.11.30) includes matches featuring Wu Yize, Neil Robertson, Mark Williams, Xiao Guodong, and Pang Junxu, broadcast live on CCTV-5+, Huya streaming platform, and Migu Video. Everyone is welcome to watch.
