Sept. 10 news: In the second round of the English Open snooker tournament, Chinese player Chang Bingyu faced a fierce battle against English player Kyren Wilson, who is ranked No. 8 in the world. Chang advanced to the second round after benefiting from Jack Jones' withdrawal in the opening round, while Wilson reached the next stage after a competitive first-round match, defeating Baranowski 4-1 with ease.
