Event Preview

1. Firstly, the Players Championship invites the top 16 players of the season, serving as both a ranking and a prize event, with a minimum prize of £15,000 just for participation. Our representatives include Wu Yize, Xiao Guodong, Zhang Anda, Zhou Yuelong, and Zhao Xintong.
2. The first match today is Wu Yize versus Mark Allen. According to the stats below, Wu Yize leads in both 50+ and 100+ breaks and has even scored a 147 break, though his winning rate is slightly below Mark Allen’s. Still, I firmly believe Wu Yize will win 6-3 or 6-4 against Mark Allen.

• The second match features Xiao Guodong against Wakelin. Xiao Guodong has higher success rates in 50+ and 100+ breaks and more 147 breaks than Wakelin. Of course, Wakelin is strong as well, but I predict Xiao Guodong will win 6-4 or 6-5.

• Personally, I think Zhao Xintong, Wu Yize, and Xiao Guodong could represent Chinese players shining on the global snooker stage. What do you all think?
