Neil Robertson is defending champion having beaten Jack Lisowski in the final in 2019. He will take on Chang Bingyu in his opening match on Monday August 10th. Wold Champion Wu Yize is in action on the first day, Saturday August 8th, and faces Yao Pengcheng. Two of the qualifiers, Anthony McGill and Hossein Vafaei, have been drawn at random to face local wild cards before the last 32 round. 

Taiyuan, which is the capital city of the Shanxi Province in North China, will host the tournament from August 8-16.
 
Under a joint project between WST, the Chinese Billiard Sports Association, the Shanxi Provincial Sports Bureau, the Taiyuan Municipal Government and Huajian Sports Holding Group Co Ltd, co-organized by the Shanxi Provincial National Fitness Guidance Center, the Taiyuan Sports Bureau and Huajian Culture Media Technology (Shanxi) Co Ltd, the event will have huge prize money of £1.2 million. The nine-day event will have 32 players in the final stages and matches will be best of 11 frames from the start, on two tables. 
 
The China Open is among snooker’s most historic and prestigious international events as it was first staged in 1999 in Shanghai, won by Ronnie O’Sullivan. In 2005 it was held in Beijing and won by an 18-year-old Ding Junhui, beating Stephen Hendry in the final. This was a key moment in the growth of snooker in China and the arrival of Ding as a national hero.

Ronnie is in the draw, set to face Jackson Page on the first day. Not an easy draw but Jackson is an attacking player, which certainly suits Ronnie better than someone who would drag the match into endless safety battles. Should he win, Ronnie would likely face Judd Trump next … ouch!😩
