Further course of the tournament
In addition to the sixteen winners of the previous round, sixteen other players were added to world number 57 or lower. The players who emerged from this round met in the round of the last 32 on the last 16 players, who completed the field of participants.

Remarks
- ↑ According to Cuetracker, this game was also played in the best of 9 frames mode , at the same time the result is given as 9: 1, so that only a best of 17 frames mode is possible for this result (9 + max. 8 = max. 17 frames )
- ↑ At this point Cuetracker mentions Craig Edwards instead of David Taylor. But since Edwards was eliminated by Taylor a round earlier, it can be assumed that the source used was incorrect.
