I don't think I've played so well in a lot of games to grab a 6. Yan Bingtao only lost a far red ball in the whole game, and this happened to happen in the decider. He's such a strong all-rounder, has a good temperament, is a great scorer and a far-range player. He's still so young, and he still has a lot of years. Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong are both great players. ”

It's a big opportunity for him as he's back in form and he's been looking for results like this to propel him up the ranks. It's going to be a very tough game."
