Cao Yupeng against Hegir, in the fourth game a shot to break the hundred, in the fourth game a single 50+, the rest of the game piecemeal, including the final game, Cao Yupeng finally caught his opponent An Guang big mistake, a shot to the pink ball, 6-0 sweep opponent to advance to the main draw.

Liu Hongyu against veteran Matthew Stevens; In the first game, Matthew lost a chance to win after a single 50+, and Liu Hongyu lost a good chance to reverse, and finally won the lottery; In the second game, Liu Hongyu broke 100 shots, 2-0. The start was good, but in the third game, Liu Hongyu lost two excellent winning chances. With this loss, the wind began to reverse. After Matthew chased 2 draws, in the 5th game, Liu Hongyu scored a single 54 and lost the black ball, which was reversed by Matthew's 61 points. In the 6th game, Liu Hongyu scored 61 points and tied 3. After that, after losing two consecutive sets, Liu Hongyu saved a match point. In the 10th game, Liu Hongyuan made a global error, Matthew shot 50 points, 6-4.

Liu Hongyu performed quite well in the first few ranking tournaments at the beginning of the season, but in the last two big prize tournaments, namely the Wuhan Open and the qualification tournament of the International Championship, Liu Hongyu went out in a row and lost a lot of money. These events have passed one round, which is equivalent to two rounds of championships under £100,000.

In the other game, Xu Si played Stuart Carrington, and the first four games were tied at 2 through two 50+. Then the situation also turned, with Carrington scoring two consecutive 90+ to take a 4-2 lead. After 3-5, Xu Si saved a match point in a one-game comeback. In the 10th game, the last good long stage chance, Xu Si lost the game, 4-6 out.

Xu Si's performance at the end of last season was good, and although the performance of these stops this season is not bad, it feels that it is somewhat below expectations.

In the two-day qualifying round, the performance of Chinese players was not satisfactory, 9 people, only 3 people advanced.
