• Martin Schindler fell 7-10 to Jonny Clayton in Blackpool on July 20, marking his fourth consecutive first-round exit.
• Despite a 103.45 average, six 180s and a 50 percent double success rate, Schindler could not convert his chances in key moments.
• Ricardo Pietreczko was defeated 5-10 by Chris Dobey on July 21, ending Germany’s last chance to advance.
