This morning, the first day of the 2021 Snooker World Grand Prix began, the top seed Zhao Xintong was a big hit, 2-4 defeat to Gould to become the first person out of the 90s, Yan Bingtao won 4-1 to advance. In the next 2 games, 2 big 90s young drivers and 囧哥 debuted, Lisovsky advanced 4-3, and Karen Wilson 0-2 trailed 2 consecutive sets to equalize, refusing to be upset.
In the first 5 stops of the new season, the post-80s final won 4 crowns, and only the British Open champion was snatched away by Mark Williams. Starting from the British Championship, the post-90s came to the fore, Zhao Xintong and Brechel met in the final, and the Chinese Rockets won 10-5 to win the first three major championships to create history. In the subsequent Scottish Open, Brechel reached the final 2 times in 7 days, defeated Higgins 9-5 to become the new king of the tournament, and won 2 consecutive championships after 90.
Turning to the World Grand Prix, Zhao Xintong, who ranked no. 1 in the world in a single season, was unfavorable, playing a single shot of 101 points after a continuous long platform attack failed, Gould in the last 3 innings as long as all one shot to kill, blasted out 3 shots 50+ to freeze the total score to 4-2, and eliminated the British Championship champion to advance to the round of 16. Zhao Xintong became the first person to be out of the 90s of this tournament, and it is a pity that he failed to meet with Yan Bingtao to master the round of 16.
In the following 2 games, the 2 big 90s both appeared well, the uncrowned king Lisovsky against the world champion Mark Williams, 2-3 behind a fight, the 6th set of 74 points zero sheet, the decider is 0-35 behind to complete the big reversal, single 94 points clear the stage to kill the gold left hand. Karen Wilson, who holds four ranking titles, fell behind 0-2 and won two consecutive sets to tie Hamilton, hoping to take advantage of the victory to reverse the 50-year-old veteran to pass the first round. Whether the rising post-90s can hit the iron while it is hot to achieve the third consecutive championship in the ranking competition, time will tell everything.
