On December 13, Beijing time, a new set of news came from Chinese players who were competing in snooker in the United Kingdom. First of all, after the end of the Scottish Open, the World Grand Prix followed, Zhao Xintong took the lead as the first seed, and the opponents were Martin Gould, Yan Bingtao and Cao Yupeng. Followed by amateur Player Scarlett, who won the second leg of the World Taiwan Federation Q Tour Tour, has won a championship and a runner-up, and is in good shape. In the end, Ding Junhui got the bad news again, and the world ranking fell to 29th.
At the Scottish Open, Luka Brechel defeated Higgins to win the second ranking title of his career. Subsequently, the signing form of the World Grand Prix was officially released, and three Chinese people qualified for the competition, namely Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, and Cao Yupeng. Zhao Xintong, the no. 1 seed, will play the opening match against Martin Gould in the first round, and he will play the opening match at 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 14. If you win, the second round is against the winner between Yan Bingtao and Mark King. Another Chinese player, Cao Yupeng, played mark Allen in the first round.
The three Chinese players are in the upper half, and the top half also has Trump, Higgins, Selby, Neil Robertson, Karen Wilson, Mark Allen and other masters, which is really cruel. O'Sullivan is once again on the line, with his first-round tie against Andy Hicks and not having many top players in the second half, O'Sullivan is expected to hit the final again.
With the end of the Scottish Open, a new world ranking is also out, Luka Brechel with the British Championship runner-up, Scottish Open champion, among the top 16, Lisovsky fell out of the top 16, but he is only 4,000 pounds behind Yan Bingtao, that is to say, Yan Bingtao is facing a huge challenge, if the next performance is not good, it is likely to fall out of the top 16, Zhou Yuelong ranked 18th, but there is still a big gap from the top 16.
Ding Junhui once again received bad news, that is, the world ranking continued to decline to 29th place, and because he failed to qualify for the World Grand Prix, the ranking may fall out of the top 30. However, Ding Junhui has already registered for the single limited time competition, indicating that he has begun to fight back.
In addition, in the second leg of the World Taiwan Federation Q Tour Tour held in Laneri, Wales, amateur player and Chinese teenager Scarlett won the championship with a 6-5 victory over former professional Michael White. Scarlett won the first two races and won one championship and one runner-up, and was in good shape. Previously, Scarlett also competed in the British Championship as an amateur player, beating world champion Sean Murphy. I hope that Scarlett will continue to improve and obtain professional qualifications as soon as possible!
