Post-match summary and reflections

1. Today, the biggest praise goes to Bai Yulu. As a female player, losing narrowly 3-4 is very impressive. Especially in the deciding frame, Bai Yulu was too stubborn; if she had altered her safety shots, she might have avoided conceding so many points and possibly even eliminated Zhang Anda.
2. He Guoqiang’s 3-4 loss to McGuigan simply shows he didn’t perform well and missed his chances. He needs to go back and practice hard to improve his skills.
3. Yuan Sijun being swept 0-4 by Barry Hawkins is completely normal and needs no further comment.
4. Long Zehuang losing to Chang Bingyu is expected since Chang has demonstrated high-level skills in recent tournaments.

Attached is tonight’s remaining schedule: around 9 PM, Zhao Xintong faces Bingham; at 2 AM, Xiao Guodong, Fu Jiajun, and Jiang Jun will compete; around 3 AM, Xu Si will play. The matches will be live on Huya. Everyone is welcome to watch.
