Against a snooker Grand Slam winner like Neil Robertson, Scarlet did not have any nervousness, and although he lost the first set 11-75, Jia Hui did not mess up, and in the second game he used multiple opportunities to play with his opponent and finally managed to tie the overall score 79-25. In the third game, Jia Hui, who seized the opportunity, showed his excellent offensive hand and shot a single 66 to win another game 70-0 and overtake the overall score 2-1.
