Post-Match Summary and Reflection
First of all, congratulations to Xiao Guodong and Zhang Anda for reaching the semifinals and earning a £35,000 prize, which will surely make for a prosperous year.
Xiao Guodong was fully focused throughout, playing very proactively with sharp attacking and excellent defense. Thus, his convincing 5-2 win over Si Jiahui was well deserved. It’s quite unfortunate for Si Jiahui, a top 16 player who still hasn’t claimed a ranking title.
Zhang Anda had lost all three previous encounters against Wu Yize, so today’s victory was a rare and welcome breakthrough—congratulations to Zhang Anda. Right from the start, Wu Yize seemed impatient; in the first frame, he played aggressively and handed the frame straight to Zhang Anda. I sensed trouble for Wu Yize, and indeed, he ended up losing.
The detailed schedule for tonight’s matches is shown in the image below. Zhao Xintong faces Wakelin, and Zhou Yuelong plays Alikat. The entire event will be streamed live for free on the Huya platform. If all our players win, the semifinals will be an all-Chinese affair. Looking forward to that exciting scenario!
