Left out, Chico admits Shi controlled the match

This result made Chico set a record in his four meetings against Shi. “He played very well today, from the first game to the end he was able to control the game. “The use of patterns and strokes is also very good, when he provokes the front game and when he takes attacks,” said Chico after the last 16 match at the 2024 China Masters.
