On April 18, the Snooker World Championships decided four more top 16 players, including Chinese rising star Yan Bingtao, the other three people are Robertson, Gilbert and Jamie Jones, plus O'Sullivan, who took the lead on the first day, has given birth to five round of 16. The first person out of the Chinese legion was also born, he is Liang Wenbo, facing the old opponent Robertson, he played uncompetitively, from the beginning of the backward, the first stage 3-6 behind, the second stage after the direct loss of 4 consecutive sets, and finally 3-10 dismal out, is also the biggest loss of the game so far.
At the World Championships, the Chinese legion had 5 people playing in the main tournament, and Liang Wenbo, as the backbone of the same period as Ding Junhui, experienced two rounds of qualification tests and successfully entered the main tournament. But unexpectedly, the first round actually drew the same opponent Robertson last year, who is also one of the biggest nemesis of Liang Wenbo's career, after the two met 9 times, Liang Wenbo was at an absolute disadvantage of 2 wins and 7 losses. What is even more tragic is that in the final of the 2015 British Championship, Liang Wenbo lost to Robertson and scored a full score of 147, which has to be said to be quite depressed. In the first round of the World Championships last year, Liang Wenbo lost 5-10, so after signing the table this year, he was also looked down upon.
In fact, in recent seasons, Liang Wenbo's state has continued to decline, and he has long lost the momentum of defeating Trump and winning the English Open championship that year, so when he encounters a nemesis like Robertson, he basically disarmed in advance. As a fan, of course, I hope that the players of their own countries can not believe in life, fight for breath, and gnaw down hard bones, so as to be more convincing and confident. Unfortunately, the parties did not do it, and even collapsed in advance.
Liang Wenbo and Robertson faced each other in the first stage of the 9 innings, Robertson came up to win two high scores to take a 2-0 lead; in the third set, Liang Wenbo scored 71 points in return, but in the next two sets, Robertson played a single 108 points and a single score of 71 points, extending the score to a 4-1 lead. In the 6th inning, Liang Wenbo scored another 78 points, but then sent out two more innings to give Robertson a 6-2 lead. In the 9th set, Liang Wenbo seized the opportunity to score a 126-point breaker and chase another set, barely ending 3-6. After the start of the second stage, Robertson drummed up, not only played 2 shots to break the hundred, a shot of 70+, even the tangled game can laugh to the end, winning 4 consecutive sets, and finally a wave took away the victory of the game, the big score was set at 10-3, Liang Wenbo lost worse than last year.
In fact, in the process of watching the game, the fans are also depressed, in fact, it is not that Robertson plays too well, but Liang Wenbo plays too badly, not only many opportunities can not be grasped by themselves, even the opponent is suspected of releasing water to send gifts, he does not cherish, so and so, how to create a miracle, losing is certainly inevitable, and the loss is still relatively ugly. In fact, this year's World Championships, fortunate to see China's snooker 87 three masters gathered at the same time, so that many fans are very emotional, hope that they can reproduce the spirit of the year, but unfortunately, Liang Wenbo did not make a good start, Tian Pengfei and Higgins fierce battle in the first stage still maintained a 4-3 lead, let people see a glimmer of hope, plus Ding Junhui debuted today, looking forward to the follow-up results.
