In the early morning of February 5th, Beijing time, the final of the ** German Masters continued, and as soon as the second stage came up, Si Jiahui showed a strong momentum, breaking 123 points in a single stroke, pressuring the world champion Trump, and chasing the total score of 4-5 to only one game behind!
Si Jiahui became famous from last season's World Championships, winning consecutive strong opponents to reach the semifinals, and even infinitely close to the final. Si Jiahui's offensive ability is very prominent, and the defensive end is Si Jiahui's weakness. In fact, Si Jiahui's style of play is very close to the early Trump. In this year's ** German Masters, Si Jiahui went all the way to the finals, defeating the world's top ten Kyren Wilson in the semifinals, during which he once won 5 games in a row and won with 4 consecutive strokes of 50+, and also broke 138 points in one stroke, showing an excellent offensive feel. There is no doubt that Si Jiahui is at the peak of his form, a bit like last season's World Championships.
