Last week, Wilson secured his second ranking title by winning seven matches in Edinburgh. However, he will not be participating in Berlin in January due to missed opportunities in the deciding frame on Wednesday. While leading 56-4 with four reds remaining, Wilson made a safety error, allowing Donaldson to make a remarkable 58 clearance and advance to the last 64.
During his impressive debut season, Liam Pullen defeated former World Champion Stuart Bingham 5-1, with top breaks of 73, 80, 56, and 72. Additionally, International Championship winner Zhang Anda made a 133 in a 5-3 victory over Mostafa Dorgham, while Jordan Brown came from behind twice, including a 51-0 deficit in the decider, to beat Long Zehuang 5-4 with a 142 break.
The qualifying round will conclude on Friday.
