Shock Exits and Rising Stars Mark Day 3 of World Snooker Grand Prix

Posted : 05 February 2026

Day 3 of the World Snooker Tour’s World Grand Prix in Hong Kong brought a mixture of surprises, thrilling performances, and poignant moments as the tournament advanced toward its final stages. Fans witnessed several top-ranked players face unexpected defeats while new contenders made their mark.

World No 2 Kyren Wilson suffered a stunning 5‑2 defeat against China’s Xiao Guodong in the first round, highlighting the challenges of the event’s tight scheduling and long travel for international players. The early exit of a top favorite sent shockwaves through the audience and set the tone for an unpredictable day.

Seven-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan also faced disappointment, losing 5‑3 to Xiao Guodong in a tense and dramatic match. The game featured a remarkable 144 break from Xiao and moments of high tension, including an unusual shot from O’Sullivan that drew gasps from the crowd. Xiao’s victories over two top-ranked players demonstrated the rising strength of Chinese snooker on home soil.

Amid the competitive action, the snooker community paid tribute to John Virgo, the beloved former player and commentator, who recently passed away. A moment of silence was observed at the venue, and players took time to honor his legacy before resuming their matches.

With the tournament moving into the quarter-finals, Hong Kong fans and global viewers continue to witness a blend of drama, emerging talent, and unexpected outcomes, promising more excitement in the coming rounds.
