Liu's next event is China Open qualifying, which runs from February 2nd to 5th.

Fu is currently enjoying his highest ever world ranking at eighth, but disappointed for losing to English Andrew Higginson 5-2.

As the runnerup of this event in 2008, Higginson took the first four frames in a row, then wrapped up in the seventh frame after Fu pulled two frames back.

"He played so well that I could hardly find any chance during the first four frames," Fu commented on his rival.

The 32-year-old Fu only won one match in ranking events this season. He revealed that the lackluster results were due to his adjustment of techniques.

"I'm satisfied with my techniques right now, so I just hope that I could get more fortune in the following competitions," said Fu.

In the other two first round matches on Monday, former world champion Peter Ebdon was swept 5-0 by Barry Hawkins. Defending champion Allister Carter defeated Mark Davis 5-1.
