The duel between Zhou Yuelong and Chen Zifan is more like a game tailored for Zhou Yuelong, and the young player Wu Yize is very promising to counterattack Lu Ning. The match between Wilson and Wahedi is more like a game without suspense.

Lu Ning or difficult to win Wu Yize is afraid of the first round of upset out
In the opening match of the British Championship, in addition to the showdown between Zhou Yuelong and Chen Zifan, Lu Ning will also stage a Chinese derby with compatriot Wu Yize. Ronin is a grinder and the best thing he does is control the rhythm of the game. But in the face of talented player Wu Yize, his set of playing style may not have a real effect, but will make himself passive. Judging from the ranking, Lu Ning is indeed much higher than Wu Yize's ranking, but in terms of firepower, Wu Yize's performance is probably stronger than That of Lu Ning. And once Wu Yize comes up with his own killer skills, it will be difficult for Lu Ning to take the initiative in the game. Lu Ning is good at controlling the game, and in the face of Wu Yize's sharp offensive style of play, he can't get any advantage at all. So this game is more like a match, if Wu Yize can play his own level, Lu Ning will be difficult to stop him from advancing. But once Wu Yize can't play at his own level, then it is normal for him to lose the game.
Wilson is expected to easily beat Waheidi to advance
Karen Wilson's overall performance this season has not been ideal, but his stability has surpassed that of most top players. It could even be said that the stability of the Big Three is not as good as his, so when Wilson has to face Wahedi, it is like a game without any suspense. Because Wilson is likely to advance to the next round of the game, however, Vaheidi's ability is not weak, if he can play his own form in the game, he is also capable of completing the upset. However, Wilson is not the kind of player who is easily upset by qualifiers, and his ability to control the game is not comparable to that of ordinary players. Whether it is firepower or control, Wilson's ability is stronger than Wahedi, so there is a high probability that Wilson will not have any problems in this game. But the key question is whether Wilson can play his own competitive form, after suffering a 0-6 defeat to Trump, whether Wilson can quickly return to his normal level or the only variable in this game, this game is worth paying attention to.
