Post-match summary and reflections
First of all, congratulations to Zhou Yuelong on advancing to the next round; your performance today was excellent. If Zhao Xintong, Wu Yize, or any other Chinese player wins the championship, we must thank Zhou Yuelong for defeating Kyren Wilson today.
Kyren Wilson’s performance today did not reflect his world number two ranking, which is partly due to the best-of-seven short format. The short format increases the influence of chance factors.
According to the statistics shown below, Zhou Yuelong made three breaks over 50, while Kyren Wilson only made one. This clearly shows Zhou’s attacking ability is far superior to Wilson’s. Therefore, Wilson’s loss is well deserved!
Zhou Yuelong has now finished as runner-up four times; we hope he can be more confident at critical moments and wish him to win the title this time! What do you all think?
