On August 15, Beijing time, all quarterfinals of the Snooker China Open concluded. In the last match last night, Chinese player Zhang Anda lost 3-6 to the former world champion Stuart Bingham in a grueling marathon, missing out on the semifinals.

China has only one player left, the dark horse Noppon Saengkham, along with world champion Bingham, the '80s Five Tigers star Mark Selby, and Chinese star Zhou Yuelong.

Manchester United has arranged three friendlies this week, against Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds United, and AC Milan. Manager Carrick revealed that this arrangement is very forward-looking, intended to lay a solid foundation for the new season's double campaign in the Premier League and Champions League, and to get used to such a rhythm early.
