China Snooker Grand Slam Prospects: Ding Junhui is difficult to realize his dream, 1 person has the greatest chance, and the new star is not playing?

In the past 2021, China Snooker ushered in a breakthrough, and the number of people who won the three major championships increased to 3. Yan Bingtao reached the top of the Masters at the beginning of last year, and Zhao Xintong was crowned the new king at the British Championship at the end of the year, and the famous scene of the new generation relay winning the championship also made Ding Junhui, who held 4 three major championships, no longer lonely. Who among the 3 people can achieve the first Grand Slam of China Snooker is worth looking forward to.

China Snooker Grand Slam Prospects: Ding Junhui is difficult to realize his dream, 1 person has the greatest chance, and the new star is not playing?

Ding Junhui is the leader of China's snooker, he became famous early before the age of 20, won 3 ranking championships, is the first post-80s to achieve 3 consecutive British Championships, and has also won 1 Masters championship, and only the world champion will be among the Grand Slam clubs. But now Ding Junhui is in trouble, he fell out of the top 16 in the world ranking after the British Championships and now only ranks 29th, this season's World Championships will be a high probability from the qualifiers, it is becoming more and more difficult to realize the dream. After all, Ding Junhui now has everything, no longer have to work as hard as before he became famous, the Chinese dragon is getting farther and farther away from the Grand Slam, or the small goal of returning to the top 16 is more pragmatic.

Yan Bingtao has the greatest chance of winning the Grand Slam, the 20-year-old Chinese youngster climbed to the top of the 2019 Riga Masters to break the ranking championship drought, and last year's Masters won the debut of Robertson, Maguire, Bingham and Higgins, relying on strength is not luck. In recent years, Yan Bingtao's world ranking has ranked in the top 16, and the new season is also the most stable Chinese golfer, straight to the Northern Ireland Open and the top 4 of the championship, the English Open and the World Grand Prix have been shortlisted for the top 8, defeated the world's first Selby, GOAT O'Sullivan and other top masters, grinding control play is very mature, the future can be expected.

Zhao Xintong is the biggest surprise of China's snooker, no one thought that he, who had only ranked in the top 4 of the previous best record, would usher in an outbreak at the 2021 British Championship, and finally win the championship in the final 10-5 against Brechel, becoming the first post-90s champion of the event. Zhao Xintong's nickname is the Chinese Rocket, and the style of the ball is very ornamental like O'Sullivan, but he can't play at will to defend, as long as he can't play a single shot to win. Although Zhao Xintong became the third Chinese to win the three major championships after Ding Junhui and Yan Bingtao, his overall performance was not stable, and the 6 1 round trips in the new season did not have the hard power to duel with super-first-class masters. The new king of the British Championship is currently ranked 9th in the world, but his strong rise is more lucky. Only when the tide recedes can we see who is swimming naked, whether Zhao Xintong is short-lived, and time will give the answer.
