Yan Bingtao was full of confidence in the first match, he did implement the pre-match words: "There is no big problem in the first match", but in a cautious attitude, Yan Bingtao still cares extraordinarily, even after only sleeping for two hours before the game, he has endured great psychological and physiological pressure, yan Bingtao even if there are some small flaws, but still called excellent play, with two single strokes to break the hundred and 8 single stroke 50+ results to amaze the fans.

In looking forward to the showdown with Snooker's top player Selby, Yan Bingtao did not overemphasize the strength of Selby, who as a strong person who has long occupied the world's first throne, is well known to fans for his steady and defensive style, and it is precisely yan Bingtao who has a similar style of play, so that the contest between the two has more magical colors.

At present, Selby's state is declining, even if he is in the name of a four-time World Championship winner, Yan Bingtao is not necessarily afraid of him, everything depends on the state of the field, Selby's psychological problems are still weak, if he can't overcome the psychological barrier, it is difficult for him to go further.
It is worth mentioning that some foreign media predict that Selby may win the championship, believing that the World Championship is a good opportunity for Selby to bottom out, plus the first half of the master is less than the bottom half, giving Selby more opportunities, and the premise of all this is whether he can withstand Yan Bingtao's resistance.
