World champion Carlo Biado takes on Wu Zhengyu of China as he opens his campaign in the 2018 World Chinese 8-Ball Masters main draw being held at the Olympic Stadium in Qinhuangdao City, China.

The reigning World 9-Ball Championship titlist is the lone Filipino in the main event of the tourney following the withdrawal of veteran cue master Alex Pagulayan and the failed attempt of World 9-Ball runner-up Roland Garcia and Eric Enriquez Bayhon in the qualifying round.
