In this match, Zhao Xintong was not in good form. He failed to bring out his best performance and made quite a few mistakes.
Gary Wilson performed exceptionally well today, with very high accuracy in long-range shots. Once he got started, he basically cleared the table in one visit.
It is very unfortunate that Zhao Xintong lost. This can be considered an upset, and congratulations to Gary Wilson for advancing.
Next, Zhao Xintong should focus on preparing well for the upcoming Players Tour Championship and strive for a good result. Achieving 100 century breaks is basically out of reach now, such a pity!
