Fan Zhisong, who had played nine goals, met the world-famous nine-ball player Chu A at the Masters, and finally Fan Zhisong lost to Chu A 8:9, stopping the second stage.
"I was so bad at punching today, 2 missed machines and a couple of white balls that fell out of my bag. I feel that my state and rhythm today are not quite right, and I want to chase after that, and there is not enough time. Fan Zhisong said that the reason for today's defeat is more due to his own play.
4:1, Fan Zhisong led to 8:9 was reversed, Fan Zhisong admitted that in terms of possession and blowing up the ball, ChuA did have some advantages. "More and more nine-ball players are coming to play the Masters, and more so because there are fewer and fewer nine-ball games, and I haven't played nine-ball myself for a long time."
Battle World, True Master. The Siping Masters has produced many of the world's top nine-ball players, such as the KeShi Three Brothers, Ou Sichun, Chu A and so on. "It's a good thing for Chinese players to have more and more international players coming to the Masters, although their current level may not be enough to compete with the top eight masters in China, but they have their advantages, such as possession and blowing up the ball."
