The European Masters champion prize money of 80,000 pounds, the best result of the Chinese players is the runner-up, Zhou Yuelong lost 0-9 to Robertson in the final, Zhao Xintong was eliminated in the qualifiers, losing to the 00s young player Aaron. Hill, Ding Junhui forgot to register, missed the time to participate, Yan Bingtao, Zhou Yuelong, Liang Wenbo's performance is worth looking forward to, especially Yan Bingtao, his performance this season is very stable.
Zhou Yuelong ranked 20th in the world, his career has reached the final three times, lost to Higgins, Robertson, Holt, in China's snooker younger generation, his achievements are second only to Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, blasted out two 147, with a strong single-shot winning ability, but unfortunately the psychological quality is not passed, often appear inexplicable mistakes, the on-field play is not as stable as Yan Bingtao.
The first round against 17-year-old gao Yang, the latter ranked 73rd in the world, after getting the professional qualification performance is average, this is the first time the two played, Zhou Yuelong's comprehensive strength is stronger, occupying an absolute advantage, the first round of the European Masters will use a 9-set 5-win system, relatively not easy to upset, but also depends on the player's impromptu play, Jimmy. Robertson once won the ranking tournament and made a major breakthrough.
In the first set, the two sides made mistakes with each other, Zhou Yuelong won the fight 69-29, Gao Yang played a single shot 49 points in the second set to interrupt the attack, Zhou Yuelong got on the hand, played a single 74 points to win another set, Gao Yang did not score in the third set, Zhou Yuelong played a single 73 points to continue to expand the lead, in the fourth set Gao Yang scored 34 points and made another mistake, Zhou Yuelong seized the opportunity to play a single 72 points, 4-0 match points.

Looking back at the process of the whole game, Gao Yang's single-shot winning ability needs to be improved, although the long platform is OK, but the continuous attack is not good, Zhou Yuelong basically plays a normal level, in the face of complex situations can be gradually resolved, he did a good job in this regard.
