Summary and Reflection

1. First, we need to commend Chang Bingyu for making it to the last 16 from the qualifiers and eliminating Mark Allen, which is already impressive. This morning, he fought hard against Rocket O'Sullivan but lost 5-6, which is commendable.
2. Zhao Xintong did not perform well; despite leading 5-3 against Wakelin and having a match point, he was unfortunately reversed by his opponent, which is regrettable and requires reflection.
3. Ding Junhui did not start well last night, falling behind 0-2 initially. He fought back to 5-5 but unfortunately lost the match. Ding Junhui, you need to show your top form!
4. As for Si Jiahui, let's just say that all four national players lost to Wilson because the opponents were simply too strong.
