In the afternoon session, Wu recovered from 2‍–‍4 down to beat Xiao 6‍–‍4 making a 115 break in the 9th frame. After the match, Wu commented: "I really enjoyed the atmosphere today. In the past, I might have felt a lot of pressure in situations like this, but now I just find it enjoyable."[30]

In the evening session Lei recovered from 2‍–‍5 down to beat Allen 6‍–‍5. After the match, Lei commented: "It is very exciting to win. Today I didn't play very well in the first session. I was telling myself not to give up, just to focus on the table and play. It was my first time in a semi‑final so I just wanted to enjoy the moment." Allen said: "I probably got what I deserved for not winning 6‍–‍2. I missed the pink when I was 5‍–‍2 up and then everything started to go against me. I just didn't close the match out well enough. I've got no regrets. He potted some good balls in the last, so credit to him."[31][32]

Final

edit

The final was played on 15 December as the best of 17 frames, played over two sessions.[6][19]

In the afternoon session, Lei took the first four frames but Wu fought back to reduce the deficit to 3‍–‍5 going into the last session.[33] Lei went on to win the match 9‍–‍5. After the match, Lei commented: "Honestly, it feels so unexpected to win the title. I initially just wanted to better my previous best result, which was the last 16. Reaching that stage already felt satisfying, so I played with no pressure and didn't overthink things." Wu said: "This week I think I performed well overall, but not in this final match. I don't know what happened. It felt like I was playing without any touch or rhythm. I didn't really put much pressure on myself, but maybe I was a bit nervous in the first four frames. I tried to adjust later on, but it still didn't feel right."[4][34] The win moved Lei up from 84th to 43rd in the world rankings, and he became the lowest‑ranked winner of a ranking event since Dave Harold beat Darren Morgan in the final of the 1993 Asian Open.[35]
