Post-match summary and analysis

1. Two major upsets occurred tonight. The first was the surprising elimination of Zhang Anda, ranked within the world’s top 16, by Ajab, which was very disappointing. The other shock was Xu Yichen’s victory over Lisowski, which was impressive.
2. Wins by Si Jiahui, Lv Haotian, He Guoqiang, and Zhou Yuelong were expected since their opponents were comparatively weaker.
3. Liu Hongyu’s loss to Mateusz was somewhat due to underestimating his opponent; he had the ability to win but still lost for unknown reasons.
