Mark Selby, John Higgins and Neil Robertson also bid farewell to Wuhan

According to Hungarian time, Mark Selby started his match early in the morning, and in Hungarian, he started his match in the morning in China, which in his case is a very specific decision on the part of those who make up the schedule. Not necessarily because of that, but he lost to Xu Si in a close battle the entire time. Selby regularly pushed half a hundred breaks, but none of them were big enough to win a frame alone, which is never a good sign.

They changed their lead and reached 4-4, when the Chinese, who had paid only two and a half hundreds until then, rallied and finished the match with a score of 125. Xu Si, ranked No. 62 in the world, could consider this victory one of the biggest successes of his life. Selby, on the other hand, went downhill after the British Open final, saying goodbye to 64 last week and this week as well.

Neil Robertson He was followed by who clashed with Liam Highfield. The Australian achieves mediocre results throughout the year, and only the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters stand out for him. So far, their performance in terms of goalscorers in the new season has been less than critical: first and second round eliminations have alternated. This time it happened again, although the beginning was good. Still leading 3-1, Robertson won the fourth frame with a huge clearance total of 140.

Almost only after the break Highveld It was on the table. He tied with 95 and 76, then finished with two breaks over 60. Highfield won a match for the first time this season in the qualifying round of the Wuhan Open, after which he surprisingly edged past Robertson, who had played well otherwise. His next opponent will be British Open quarter-finalist Zhou Yuelong, who won 5-0 over Anthony Hamilton on five big breaks.

Ronnie O’Sullivan He led 3-1 in the first period against Mark Davis, who won his last game against the Rockets. It happened in the semi-finals of the 2018 British Open, and with this success the veteran snooker player reached the first and so far only points-scoring final of his career. But this time he was unable to crush the nose of the world number one, who raised this match to 5-1, as he defeated Ken Doherty by the same score on Monday.

John Huggins On Friday, he beat Martin O’Donnell 5-1 in the quarter-finals of the British Open, and the two met again. But now their match was completely different. The slowest player on the field was 4-0 down, and the four-time world champion Scot played just for camels, losing 5-1. O’Donnell played only half-century in the match.

Ding Junhui He also came to the table, but there wasn’t much thanks in it. His opponent was Yuan Sijun, and the tournament-winning Chinese star who scored 14 points was unable to get a frame against the world’s 48th ranked player. Yuan outran Deng 5-0 with three hundred breaks and won by two narrow frames.

Judd Trump After winning the British Open, he received so much help from organizers that he only had to start performing in Wuhan on Wednesday. His opponent will be Oliver Lines, and he will play at dawn according to Hungarian time. If Trump wins, he will also play in the afternoon match against Matthew Sylt, whom he easily defeated in the quarterfinals of the English Open.

Anda Zhang, who also played in the final on Sunday, was fortunate that her first opponent in Wuhan, Mark Williams He withdrew so he wasn’t supposed to play until Wednesday.
