Trump dominated, achieving five successive half-centuries against fellow Englishman Mark Selby. Despite having opportunities in the first, third, and fourth frames, Selby couldn't match Wu's control. World champion Wu triumphed in a 5-4 victory, matching Wu's signature in the last three frames. Meanwhile, Shaun Murphy, who had breaks of 104 and 98, lost to Wu after errors allowed Wu to take the lead. In the deciding frame, Murphy drew level, but Wu seized the advantage with a break of 117. Also in the tournament, Jimmy Robertson defeated Chris Wakelin 5-3, advancing to face Yuan Sijun, who beat Michael Holt 5-2.",
