The main draw for the German Masters has been released. The top 32 players will not participate in the qualifying rounds and will go straight to the main event. The competition will start on January 27th, with 15 Chinese players making it into the main draw. Those who are eliminated in the first round can return home for the New Year celebrations, while those who make it to the quarter-finals will have to spend the holiday in Germany. It's indeed tough for the Chinese players, as they spend most of the year playing abroad. Let's cheer them on! Will you choose to watch the Spring Festival Gala or the quarter-final matches at that time?

The prize money for the German Masters champion has increased from 80,000 to 100,000 pounds, with an additional 5,000 pounds for the highest break. The defending champion is Trump, who defeated young talent Si Jiahui 10-5 in the final. O'Sullivan hasn't been performing well this season, let's hope he doesn't withdraw from the tournament.
