Chinese star Xu Si ended Judd Trump's remarkable record of having at least reached the quarter-finals of every event he has entered this year, by beating him 6-4 in the last 16 earlier today.
Following his remarkable win, Xu said: "It was my mindset during the key moments that helped.
"In the last frame, I felt a bit of tension, but luckily things went well, and I didn’t leave any easy shots.
"Finishing the match felt really good. Sometimes you reach a point where you’re very nervous, and then suddenly you’re not nervous anymore.
"I feel there’s a much smaller gap now between myself and the top players.
"Recently, many Chinese players have been advancing to the latter stages of tournaments, which shows a significant improvement overall."
