Kyren Wilson booked his place in the last 16 of the 2025 German Masters after a hard-fought 5-3 victory over Zhou Yuelong at the Tempodrom in Berlin. The second seed overcame a tricky start, twice coming from behind before winning three consecutive frames to seal the win.
Zhou, ranked 31st, took an early lead and pushed Wilson throughout the match. However, the former champion showed his resilience, using his experience to turn the tide and advance.
Wilson now faces Welshman Jak Jones in the third round. Jones stunned 15th seed John Higgins by the same 5-3 scoreline, staging a comeback from 2-0 down to eliminate the four-time world champion. The upcoming clash carries added intrigue, as Wilson defeated Jones in the 2024 World Championship final.
