Jiahui Si Strength
We have known for some years that SI is a very fine player. Then he was virtually a great player with his amazing run to the semi-finals 2 years ago at such a young age. However, we have seen patches of his brilliance - beating Judd Trump and making a 147 in China this year - but too often he seems to lack the concentration he used to have.

Ben Woollaston Strength
Ben Woollaston is coming from a huge upset victory over the world number 4, Mark Selby. He showed he has a competitive grit to come back from misplaying the pink and failing to go 2 frames up when he had a great chance -- his potting in this match was fantastic. However, he needs to improve on this cue ball control and break building, he often left chances to finish off a frame due to losing the cue ball
