On the morning of September 12, Beijing time, the last two games of the first round of the 2023 Snooker Shanghai Masters (24 to 16) ended, and in the end, Mark Williams defeated Pang Junxu 6-1 and Robert Milkins defeated Bai Yulu 6-1, so far, the round of 16 has all been released: Ding Junhui leads 2 Chinese people.
Pang Junxu is China's post-00s young player and has also won the title of the best newcomer, but in the face of world champion and Grand Slam player Williams, Pang Junxu is still a little difficult to overcome, Williams is not old, accuracy is still online, and it is relatively smooth to defeat Pang Junxu 6-1.
The match between Mirkins and Bai Yulu looks even more suspenseless, Bai Yulu is a Chinese female player, this time it is not easy to participate in the Masters, but in the face of the ranking tournament championship and experienced post-70s veteran Milkins, Bai Yulu is very passive, 1-6 defeat, Milkins advanced to the round of 16.
