The CCTV-5+ channel and Huya streaming platform are showing the live match of Chang Bingyu versus Shaun Murphy at the Snooker Welsh Open.
This match is part of the round of 64 to 32, using a best-of-seven frames format. The players are now in the first frame, with the score currently tied at 0-0.
Who will win this match and move on to the last 32?
Shaun Murphy is ranked eighth globally, while Chang Bingyu is 54th. Murphy has claimed 13 titles so far, whereas Chang has yet to win a championship. Clearly, Murphy’s strength overwhelmingly surpasses Chang’s.
So far, in their head-to-head history, Shaun Murphy leads Chang Bingyu 2-0, indicating that Chang has a high chance of losing based on past results.
However, on the first day, Jiang Jun defeated Selby 4-3, showing that in this best-of-seven format, there is a significant chance for upsets.
We hope Chang Bingyu can cause an upset against Shaun Murphy, or at least manage to win 2 or 3 frames even if he loses.
Friendly reminder: Tonight at 9 PM, Zhao Xintong will face Fan Zhengyi. The live broadcast will be available on CCTV-5 and Huya platforms. Everyone is welcome to watch.
