Ronnie O'Sullivan He Guoqiang face each other for the second time in the third exhibition, after Ano's Estreante defeated Rocket in their first encounter.
The duo will compete in the final rounds of the British Open, at Brentwood, as seven-time world champions looking for victory.
Or a young man of 24 years old China Chuku O'Sullivan with his 3-0 Championship win in June, scoring periods of 80, 77 and 57 in an excellent performance against his idol.
He is the current Rookie of the Year thanks to an impressive last-round win over Rocket who started this campaign strong.
The world number 64 says he is better than last season, buoyed by the win over O'Sullivan.
Asked about this unforgettable victory about Rocket's motivations, what did he say? WST: 'Of course, because I won and he's been my idol since I was a kid, I want to talk to him and compete with him, so I can be a non-local and beat him.
“If my confidence increases, it helps my game a lot.” I feel like I’m definitely improving this new season.
He added: 'It was not a shame to lose for him because he did not support me to win. I felt comfortable playing against the first-placed teams last season. It is easier to focus on the table because it is normal for them to lose.
Hom Honan has also racked up wins over a string of big names in his first season, beating the likes of Kyren Wilson, Mark Williams, Barry Hawkins, Ryan Day, Hussein Vafaei and Anthony McGill in his breakout year.
Asked how he could do so well so quickly, he said: “It's the mentality, I wanted to win every game, but I can't show that I want to win.” He just takes every picture calmly. Maybe because of his personality, he has a very calm personality.
Their first season ended in a crucible, after winning two qualifying matches, but losing painfully 10-8 in the final round to Dominic Dale.
He admits that even if he lost or suffered, he learned a lot from it, saying: “Ainda feels a lot of regret, even now.”
'We're playing very well. The first training session and the first goal in the second training session were very good and I felt like I was losing 7-6. But after the last period of the session, I was taking care of myself sometimes. It's been a busy season and I imagined it would end with two dreams at Cresol.
“I was so anxious to get in the box and let everyone see me play without any doubt. Thoughts like ‘I have to win’ and ‘I have to be there’ start to come in and I have to push hard. He was playing with a lot of tension at the end of the match and then he lost.
He and O'Sullivan face each other at Brentwood at 7pm on Day 3 in a mystery match in the final of the English Open.
