Here is the report shared by WST about day 2 at the 2025 International Championship Qualifiers:

Mann on A Mission

Mitchell Mann kept his recent momentum going as he scored an impressive 6-4 victory over Mark Allen to reach the final stages of the International Championship.

Allen won the BetVictor English Open last month but he misses out on a trip to Nanjing, China for this ranking event which boasts a top prize of £175,000. World number 84 Mann was a quarter-finalist at last week’s Unibet British Open and enjoyed another fine performance today in Sheffield. From 4-2 down, Allen made breaks of 85 and 82 to level at 4-4, but Mann got the better of two tight frames to clinch the result.

Stuart Bingham top scored with 90 in a 6-3 success against Ian Burns, while Sam Craigie enjoyed a superb 6-1 win over Joe O’Connor with a top run of 128. Wu Yize won a Chinese derby against Lan Yuhao 6-3 with a top break of 100 while Elliot Slessor made a 122 in a 6-2 defeat of Alexander Ursenbacher.  Liam Highfield came from 3-1 down to edge out Jackson Page 6-5.

Again the “late session” is not covered by WST report. Most matches in that late session went the way you would expect although Bothh David Gilbert and Stephen Maguire were taken the full distance by their much younger and less experienced opponents, Liam Davies and Kreishh Gurbaxani. But the very last match of the day saw 14 years old Michal Szubarczyk beat Ishpreet Singh Chadha by 6-4 in a hard fought affair where both players scored four breaks over 50. The match score however doesn’t tell the whole story: Michal lead by 5-1 before Ishpreet came back at him to make it 5-4 with breaks of 55, 68 and 68. For a 14 years old child, to find it himself to take the next after that onslaught, at about 10 minutes short of midnight, when he probbly should be fast asleep in bed, is truly remarquable.
