At 2 pm, Robertson played against Ding Junhui, and the former won 9-6. According to the rules, Robertson will play another game at 20: 30 tonight. If he wins, he can advance to the top 32. But the judges didn't find Robertson when they signed in before the game. Jiang Zhenyuan revealed: "When we checked in, we found that Robertson was not at the game site. After searching for him for a circle, he still couldn't be found, and then the players began to enter the arena. After entering the venue, we went to the venue to confirm that he was still not present. According to the rules, after the start of the game, he is not present and is regarded as abstaining. "
Due to many reasons, such as unfamiliarity with the rules and lack of practice, eight top players in the world, including Ding Junhui, Lupu, Robertson and Higgins, all entered the semi-finals.
