Post-match summary

1. Long Zehuang advanced directly to the last 32 due to an opponent's withdrawal in the first round, but was defeated by Yuan Sijun in the round of 32 to 16 this morning. Between the two, Yuan Sijun demonstrated superior skills and won the match. Congratulations to Yuan Sijun for advancing to the next round first.
2. Pang Junxu’s loss was unfortunate. In the deciding frame, when it was his turn, the ball position was quite favorable. However, he missed an easy red ball shot. Missing such a simple shot shows inconsistency in his play that needs improvement. Following that, Higgins cleared the table in one visit, and Pang Junxu lost. Wouldn’t you say that’s a pity?
