and it also shows how hard a job Reanne Evans has next week in Wuxi to beat a Wild Card.
they are tough players they are not walk overs
Sure aren't, the number of players out there is massive.
Been doing some digging trying to get information on some of the players, found a somewhat weird translation of a Chinese article about yesterdays play - hope I've understood these snippets correctly!
Matthew Selt's upcoming opponent who is listed as Yuan Siyun (what I found says Yuansi Jun) is 13 years old.
Cai Jianzhong who plays Scott Donaldson in Round 2 is a former Chinese national champion.
Zhu Yinghui who is Reanne's opponent next week lost today to Li Yuan. Zhu Yinghui is a teenager from Inner Mongolia.
They describe Guan Zhen beating Sun Peng as a shock (we wouldn't have known!)
Some of the lines are quite impossible for me to work out e.g. "Additionally, Lei Chen Jinlong 4-2 out, 4-0 Lin handsome horsemen". Just love online translation engines!
Other lines make sense in a bizarre way, this on Mark Williams defeat (his opponent Ju Reti's name seems to translate as 'thermal', 'hot thermal' or similar- Hot Thermal Titan seems a good name for an introduction at a tournament somewhere!):
"This year Yixing Open, Williams ranks first round against thermal mention. Two-time world champion, Welsh champion Mark - William Williams ranks first show contestant Xinjiang hot face lift, the results after five innings, Williams lost 1-4 upset, stop the first round ... it is worth mentioning that last year Yixing Open, Williams in the second round they waged war, when the two men in the 1st two relay stations, the first surface The home of the world-class champion hot too tight to mention, the final 0-4 defeat speed out".
"Turning to today's victory, the highest thermal Titan made himself very excited in the field, is with a revenge mentality. 'This opponent is quite accurate, I lost him last year, so this is revenge to me, bent He was to win, so we played better. 'Habitat hot mentioning said."
Love that it sounds funny, but a good quote in there from Ju Reti too ...
