On November 2, Beijing time, the Snooker England Open entered the second matchday, and the main tournament was fully launched. Six Chinese players appeared, including Xu Si and Zhao Xintong in the Chinese derby. Trump, Selby, Higgins and other seeded players play back-to-back, Trump against the powerful Jimmy Robertson, Selby vs. Jamie Wilson, Selby if he wins, it is very likely to play Hendry.
On the first matchday, The Chinese players won 2 wins and 3 losses, Ding Junhui and Yan Bingtao advanced, and Gao Yang, Zhao Jianbo and Wu Anyi were out. On the second match day, there were 6 more Chinese players appearing, Xu Si and Zhao Xintong played the derby, Xiao Guodong's opponent was Halworth, Cao Yupeng faced Mark Jin, Wu Yize played against Ross Muir, and Chang Bingyu's opponent was Paul Deville, it should be said that the opponent's strength was average, hoping that the Chinese players would get more victories.
There were also a number of seeded players playing back-to-back on this matchday, with Trump facing Jimmy Robertson, who is ranked 42nd in the world and has a lot of strength, which Trump can't take lightly. Mark Selby's opponent is Jamie Wilson, and normal play should be easy to pass. If Selby wins, the next round against the winner between Hendry and Chris Walkerlin, will Hendry succeed in meeting Selby?
In addition, McGill takes on Gerald Gran, Karen Wilson against Ashley Carty, Barry Hawkins against Jack Jones, veteran Bingham against O'Brien, and Higgins against Oliver Lanes. It should be said that these games are a contest of strength and weakness, seeded players can successfully advance as long as they play normally, and Jack Jones is one of the more powerful players, and may become a cold maker.
China's two seeded players Ding Junhui and Yan Bingtao got a day's rest, which is particularly valuable for Ding Junhui, because although the previous game was won, it exposed some problems, and Ding Junhui also said that he would summarize it well, believing that Ding Junhui's next performance would become more and more outstanding. I also wish all the Chinese players who are participating in the competition good luck and more victories!
