Before introducing the situation of the battle -
The new crown pneumonia has touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people in the past month, and the snooker players who are far away from overseas are also concerned about the motherland. In the first round of the snooker single-time limited time match yesterday, Chinese player Mei Xiwen defeated Matthew Celte to advance to the finale, and in the game, he posted a badge on his chest with the words "Hubei refueling Macheng refueling" and paid tribute to the medical staff fighting on the front line. Mei Xiwen was born in 1982 in Macheng, Hubei Province, and is now the eldest brother of the Snooker Overseas Corps, and his hometown is close to Wuhan and Huanggang City, which is also the area where the epidemic is more serious. Previously, Ding Junhui, Liang Wenbo and other players donated money, and WST officials also donated 77,000 pounds based on the 77 shots played by the Welsh Open.
O'Sullivan was in charge of the first round of the finale, which satisfied the fans' appetite, after all, he had not participated in the event for five years, but he had only played two times and had two single-shot breaks, more than everyone other than Martin Gould (three times in total), which was enough to make the fans look forward to him, which was also evident from the sudden increase in atmosphere at the scene. The fire teacher, who likes to soar at high speed, seems to be in the water here, and at present, in the season average pole speed list, he has even slightly surpassed Thachaia to the top position.
However, in a very noisy environment, O'Sullivan is also more difficult to adapt, the first three attacks, are terminated due to poor positioning, the referee Pozlova tried to stop during the game, but at the same time as saying "Stop Ronnie", the fire teacher has been out, and the referee has given up. Opponent McManus was clearly more upset and lost the offense more than once, and the Rockets then successfully defended and regained the initiative, thus winning the game.
In addition to O'Sullivan, among the top 16 players on this day, Sean Murphy, Lisowski, Hawkins and Perry all passed the game. In the first game, Murphy faced Hillani, who quickly got into shape and scored a single 68 points to seal the victory; the little driver, who appeared a little later, also had a high score of 78 and won easily against Andy Hicks; Hawkins beat Jackson Page 77-7; and Perry also beat Jimmy Robertson, an 18-year European Masters finalist.
A total of eight Chinese mainland players participated in the matchday, including three consecutive players in the first period, and they were all Tian Pengfei, Lu Ning and Chen Zifan, who usually did not play very quickly. Tian Pengfei experienced a roller coaster in the game with Richie Wharton, and after being scored 28 points by the other side, he scored 64 points to overtake the score, but then Walton regained the opportunity, but unfortunately, in the case of clearing the platform, Walton lost the last black ball, and Tian Pengfei was able to advance thrillingly.
Then The contest between Lu Ning and Lee Walker, both sides had several mistakes and fouls, and finally Lu Ning also broke through Chen Gong with only a 7-point advantage; Chen Zifan met Ali Carter, who came up to play a single 52 points, but Chen Zifan chased 50-52 with two starts, but unfortunately he never scored a goal against Carter, and finally lost to Carter.
Local evening Zhou Yuelong took the lead, he defeated Tom Ford; then Yan Bingtao easily eliminated Xu Si 42-1 in a civil war; Liang Wenbo, who came late against Oliver Lanes, had some offensive mistakes on both sides in this game, Liang Wenbo scored a large angle powder ball in the last moment to beat Lanes with a 5-point advantage; Chen Feilong also completed a narrow victory, and after being scored 33 points by O'Brien first, the reversal was successful, which also made the overall performance of the Chinese team on this day satisfactory.
Amien Amiri, the African champion from Morocco, has not tasted victory since this season, not even won even one game, he met Michael Holt in the first round of the single-time limited time game, and Amiri, who had the opportunity to taste the taste of victory, due to his unfamiliarity with the rules of the game, English communication seems to have an obstacle, and as a result, he was twice judged to be fouled for using the sticker defense (the single-time limit game stipulates that there must be a ball to eat or score), thus losing a good game.
Twelve-time women's snooker world champion Renee Evans ushered in her second single-time limited time tour, but her opponent Ian Burns did not look much more pitiful than the previous Tu Zhenlong, who scored a single 62 points to end the suspense of the game early, but Evans still scored and celebrated with a fist. The "Queen" stopped in the first round for the second consecutive year after losing to Jimmy White last season, and she could not meet Mark Allen anyway.
There was no more single-shot break on the matchday, with Ryan Day's 85 points being the highest in a single day, but his opponent Barry Pinches' move to admit fouls was also worthy of respect.
The remaining winners included Iranian player Wahdi, who beat Alfi Borden on penalties, as well as Wollaston, amateur youngster Aaron Hill, Jordan Brown, Bohrman, Andrew Higginson, Stedermann, Ursenbach, O'Donnell, Dahdi, Castell, Jack Jones, Dunn, Sagit, Patrick, Peter Lanes, and Ashley Kati, who beat Sancham in the final second.
