Next, there are two other Chinese players who hit the round of 32, namely Wu Yize and Liang Wenbo, Wu Yize's opponent is Arun Hill, which is a good opportunity for him to move on, and Liang Wenbo against Joe Perry, who has just won the Welsh Open, which is obviously a tough battle.
The winner between Liang Wenbo and Joe Perry will be the winner between Trump and Chris Walkerlin in the next round.

Higgins and Graeme Dort will appear in the second round of the regular tournament, with Higgins playing Michael Holt and Graeme Dort playing jackson Page, with the winner of both matches advancing to the round of 16.
Zhao Xintong and Scarlett will also play in the second round of the main tournament on this match day, impacting the round of 16, Scarlett's opponent is Tom Ford, and Zhao Xintong's opponent is Matthew Celt.
