Yesterday I watched mainly Bai Yulu and her team, Dongguan Youth, on table one during the evening session. That team comprises Bai Yulu (19), Deng Hoahui (20) and Li Jianbing (57). The team did well: as it stands they are seeded number 2 in the last of 16 round, which is excellent. Deng played in the Asian Q-School this year, without much success. Li Jianbing had a run to the semi-finals at the 2019 “Masters” Amateur World Championship in Antalya (Turkey); he had beaten Darren Morgan at the QF stage.
Bai played well in winning her individual match. Her approach was measured, she potted some very good balls. She played the double with Li Jianbing and they lost that frame, having been ahead for most of it. Going by her demeanour during that frame, I wondered if Li could be her coach, or maybe she was just showing respect to an older, knowledgeable, experienced player.
Now their team will face the defending champions in the last 16.
Here are my screenshots:
Here is how things stand after the conclusion of the group phase:
Hong Kong – Marco Fu, Cheung Ka Wai and Wang Yuchen – did well. They were seeded fifth in their group and finished second. They are the only team that started “lowest” in their group and managed to qualify for the knock-out stage. I’m very pleased for them.
Ronnie O'Sullivan 
Gutted for Marco after reading the twitter, hope he fights better in qualifier within a few days. (not optimistic due to “pull out” in final frame of last qualifier.)
I have a very unpopular opinion: Long flight affects his performance. If he really wish to stay on tour in his own merit, he must return to UK.
You are probably right about the flights, and it surely doesn’t do any good to his eyes either. I should know, I have issues myself. I have been told to take only “short” flights – no more than 3-4 hours and no more than one or twice a year. Which is an improvement from 4 years ago when I was simply forbidden to fly. The thing is Marco has a family, and his daughters must be teenagers now, never an easy “passage”. He’s a family man, he probably feels that his family is his priority.
: ( Agree but events are much more packed now (He has to stay a bit longer somehow.).
Li is her coach (and Deng also another student of Li).
and only the coach reached R2(last32) in Guizhou.
Thank you.
