The semi-finalist at the 2023 US Open and a qualifier for the Reyes Cup Team Asia, Aloysius Yapp began his tournament run with an impressive 9-2 win over Pierfrancesco Garzia from Italy. Johann Chua joined his fellow Team Asia teammate in the next round after stopping Vietnamese cueist Dang Thanh Kien 9-1.
