Wildcard round
The games of the wildcard round were played on March 28th and 29th. Almost all the favorites prevailed, only Ken Doherty had nothing to oppose a convincing Li Hang and clearly lost. For the Chinese, who had already played on the Main Tour from 2008 to 2010, it was the second time since 2007 that he qualified for the main round of the China Open. The Englishman Kurt Maflin , starting for Norway, made it into the last 32 of a Main Tour tournament for the first time by defeating the wildcard player Cao Yupeng.

Final round
The big surprise of the first round was the elimination of the defending champion and world number two Mark Williams against Stephen Lee . Even Stephen Maguire , previously still finalist in the Welsh Open , retired early from. The wildcard player Li Hang , who just beat Graeme Dott and achieved his best result so far, surprised positively . Judd Trump , who had knocked on the door of the top 16 players before, and Ryan Day against a recently out of shape Ronnie O'Sullivan also prevailed against seeded players. The biggest surprise of the second round was the end of world champion Neil Robertson against Peter Ebdon . But he then had no chance in the quarterfinals against the youngster Judd Trump, who was getting better and better. With John Higgins , the last of the top 3 seeded players failed to Shaun Murphy . In the upper half of the seeding list, the remaining favorites Mark Selby and Ding Junhui prevailed. In their semi-final encounter, the game was evenly balanced up to 3: 3, until Selby qualified for the final with three frames in a row. In the other semifinals, Murphy could not build on the success against Higgins. A powerfully playing and sure punching Judd Trump won with 6: 1.
final
For the 21-year-old Judd Trump it was the first long finale of his career in front of cameras on the main tour. Nevertheless, he showed little nervousness. In the fairly even match he was able to present several times and Selby had to fight repeatedly to equalize. After a 6: 8 deficit, he managed to make it 8: 8. After that, however, it was Trump who secured the missing two narrow frames to win the tournament with a 57 break and won his first title in a world rankings tournament.
