He's kicked off with an interesting comment. He reckons in practice, the Chinese players play at a much higher level than the Brits. But the Brits edge it in a competition match. He blames the ability of the Chinese players to handle the pressure of a match.

Zhao's safety game is still very ropey. Brecel-esque in this game so far.

Yes, it's certainly true about scoring - I have seen that myself. Tactical play probably not, as players don't practice that as much as they ought. But I always feel like the Chinese players are apprehensive playing against established players, like a football team who always has to play away from home.

Bingham needs to beat Ursenbacher preferably 3-0 to get back the advantage hes lost in the first match losing 3-1 to Luo Honghao a draw will put him out.

Having won both his matches 3-0 that means no matter what happens in the rest of the group Hawkins only needs a draw with Trump to go through
