After the opening, Mark Williams continued the hot hand of defeating O'Sullivan 10-5 in the final of the Tour Championship, with a super high score of 142 points, and won the first game strongly.

Si Jiahui won the sixteenth game 81-4, and Mark Williams faced Si Jiahui's match point 7-9! Under the pressure of match point, Mark Williams went the opposite way, completely let go of the offensive end, fought when he saw the opportunity, and played very hard! Si Jiahui was a little conservative, and Uncle Ma saved 2 match points in a row to chase 9-9. In the decisive game, Uncle Ma still paid the price for his aggressive style of play, Si Jiahui seized the opportunity of Uncle Ma's leakage in the bag, and scored a single stroke of 77 points to win, Uncle Ma was killed 9-10, and another kind of sub-famous general was upset and stopped in the first round, and the 9 first-round games that have ended, 6 of which are all qualifying players who are eliminated from seeding players.
