German Masters quarter-final matchups
In the next matches, the players who advance to the quarterfinals will start the battle for the final four spots. In the match at 21:00 Beijing time on February 2, 2024, Higgins will face Trump, while Ryan Day will be challenged by China's post-00 teenager Si Jiahui. In the match at 3:00 on 3 February, former world runner-up Carter will take on Craigie, while Chinese teenager Fan Zhengyi will take on Kyren Wilson. Judging from the matchup, Si Jiahui will have a chance to enter the semi-finals of this tournament. Although Fan Zhengyi also has hope of completing the promotion, objectively speaking, this hope may be relatively small. In the master-apprentice battle between Higgins and Trump, Trump is still a player who is more worthy of being optimistic, after all, whether it is the state or the current competitiveness, Trump is the more dominant side. And in the match between Carter and Craigie, Craigie also hopes to make his dark horse miracle go further.
