Among them, China's post-00 young player Yan Bingtao, facing the Australian star, "Melbourne Machine" Neil Robertson, in the first two rounds of the game Yan Bingtao only lost one round, the state can not be described as not hot, Robertson is the same, his performance in the previous British Championship and the Scottish Open is not ideal, although the world ranking is higher than Yan Bingtao, this game Yan Bingtao is not without opportunities, the first half of the game confirmed this, the two sides started to play you and me, each played a single high score, ending the first half with a 2-2 tie.
Back in the second half, Robertson single shot 66 points to take the lead, and then Yan Bingtao used a single shot in the sixth set to score 87 points to color, and the seventh set was 84-7 to win the match point, but unfortunately in the eighth set in the defensive battle, Robertson was better at withstanding the pressure to equalize, and then the decider Yan Bingtao lost a good game in the case of 43-0, there was a mistake and Robertson seized the opportunity to overtake the score, in the last few ball competition, Robertson performed better, and finally locked the win, Yan Bingtao lost 4-5 to end the Grand Prix journey.
In other matches, in the previous two rounds of Lienk Higgins and Trump, tom Ford, the two top players, continued to enjoy the "Famous Opponent Package", and the quarter-finals faced Selby, the world's number one, but unfortunately this time Tom Ford failed to create miracles again, he only relied on Selby's own mistakes to win two sets, and there were few opportunities in other times, and finally missed the final four 2-5.
In the second half of the zone, rocket O'Sullivan played a single shot of 107 points and 81 points in the second round, 4-1 victory over Iranian player Wafi, quarter-final will face 4-3 elimination of Brechel Jimmy Robertson, I have to say that although Brechel is Zhao Xintong's defeated, his recent results are very stable, which is what Zhao Xintong needs to learn.
