Huang Yuxiang cannot be better prepared before arriving in Jiangsu for the 2016 China Masters. A year after losing the final to compatriot Wang Zhengming in a tight two-game match, the 23-year-old Chinese has got a big boost by winning the New Zealand Open Grand Prix Gold in March. Besides, he was also the runner-up at the Syed Modi GPG in January.
There is no doubt that after such strong performances, the 44th ranked player will be looking to go one better this time.
