This round of upsets continued, the world No. 16 Milkins lost 4-13, from the last round of 10-9 narrowly defeated Pang Junxu to see the clues, the competitive state continued this season's poor performance, it is really Pang Junxu's ability to grasp the opportunity is not enough to lack some major tournament experience, otherwise it will not be reversed three times in the tiebreaker. Gilbert has also had a lackluster season, but is well above Milkins, with a 10-point win percentage ahead of 46 percent.

Judd Trump vs Tom Forde
World No. 2 Trump has already said "I want to compete with the Rockets in the semifinals, the same five-time champion, and see who is the best of the season?" Fudd has also performed well this season, not only the runner-up of the new National Championships, but also the quarterfinals of three tournaments. However, this duel was suppressed, and the luck was not good, in the eighth game, Fudd scored the green ball at the mouth of the bag, but he did snooker for himself, and the ball was fouled by the pink ball, which was a bit of a sense of "people are embarrassed"! Although Trump only had one single stroke to break 100, he hit eight single strokes of 50+, 11-5 and a large lead.
The third stage starts at 5 p.m.
Jack Jones VS Si Jiahui

There was also a continental European player last season. This season's performance Si Jiahui is far better than Jack Jones, who either lost in the first round or stopped in the second round, and was swept by the old Dale for the only time he reached the third round! Si Jiahui is the runner-up of the new German Masters, continuing the improvement trend of the quarterfinals last year, the semifinals last year, and the runner-up of this year.

In the 16th game, the two sides changed their offense and defense many times, and there were 3 periods of long defensive competition, Si Jiahui was also made a snooker, but he always kept patience and waited for the opportunity, and finally cleared the blue powder to win, 7-9.
