Lu Ning – In The Perfect Position to Win

In February, Lu advanced to his first ranking quarter-final at the Indian Open, defeating Robert Milkins, Liam Highfield, Yan Bingtao, and Stuart Bingham before falling to eventual champion Matt Selt. The victory over Bingham featured an incredible last frame clearing that included a fluked blue and a lucky kiss on the black.

Lu went one better in the following tournament, the Gibraltar Open, defeating three amateurs and pros, Shaun Murphy and Tian Pengfei, before falling to reigning winner Ryan Day. This semi-final pushed him into the top 50 of the one-year rankings.

Lyu Haotian – Having a Passion to Beat Lu Ning

Lyu's performance improved over the previous season. He advanced to the third round of the European Masters, where he was barely defeated by Ding Junhui. His greatest performance came in the Scottish Open when he overcame Gary Wilson, Alan McManus, and Akani Songsermsawad before falling to eventual winner Mark Selby.

Lyu defeated fellow Chinese players Gao Yang and Chang Bingyu in the World Championship to qualify for the Crucible for the second time. However, his break-off shot in the opening frame struck the blue, and his opponent Mark Allen won with a 139 break. This set the tone for Allen's victory, which he won 10–2. Lyu was rated 53 at the end of the season.
