World champion Wu Yize has been drawn against former Crucible winner Kyren Wilson in the second round of the British Open in Cheltenham, after both players won their opening-round matches. The tournament's random, unseeded draw format means notable clashes can occur early, and the day also saw several seeded players eliminated, including three-time world champion Mark Williams and world number two Neil Robertson.

Wu, ranked third in the world, edged compatriot Liu Hongyu 4-3, while 2024 world champion Wilson beat Austria's Florian Nuessle 4-1. Other players through to round two include Shaun Murphy, Ding Junhui, Barry Hawkins, Judd Trump and John Higgins, while Williams lost 4-0 to David Gilbert, Robertson fell 4-1 to Pang Junxu, and Luca Brecel lost 4-3 to Chris Wakelin. Mark Joyce, standing in for the injured Ronnie O'Sullivan, beat Mateusz Baranowski 4-1, while new world number one Zhao Xintong is due to face Oliver Brown on Tuesday.
