Post-match summary and reflections.
First of all, it is very unfortunate to report that Wu Yize and Chang Bingyu withdrew; both are strong contenders with potential to win the title, which is truly regrettable.
The first day of the German Masters mostly went as expected, with the top players prevailing due to their superior skills and tactical expertise compared to their opponents.
However, there was one upset: Wakelin surprisingly lost 4-5, which is somewhat disappointing.
