Ding Junhui fought hard! Undefeated Golden Body Broken, Ranked 4th or Eliminated, Broken 424 Days Of Magic?

In 2021, Ding Junhui fell to the altar: after the British Championships, the TOP16 was not guaranteed, the latest ranking fell to the 29th place in the world, 1 round trip almost became the standard, and the civil war was also lost to compatriots many times! Ding Junhui, the world's no. 1 at the peak, the 14th champion of the ranking tournament, and the strongest talent of China's snooker, came to a career crossroads at the age of 34, which was unexpected.

Why did Hui Ge sink to this point? GOAT O'Sullivan previously highlighted 2 major factors, 1 is That Ding Junhui is demoralized, his psychological quality is worrying, and it is easy to drop the chain at a critical moment when he is not strong; 2 is that Ding Junhui is now too rich and has lost the motivation to play. On the last day of last year, Ding Junhui wrote on his personal social media: "I never thought I would always be in a low, but I believe that I will try to find the best version of myself." In 2022, can Ding Junhui do what he says and be reborn from the fire?

The Champions League was Ding Junhui's first match of the New Year, and he joined Yan Bingtao in Group 6. On the first day of 3 matches, Ding Junhui performed average, losing 1-3 to Yan Bingtao in the first round of the China derby, and then playing 2 3-2 against Serte and Gould respectively, and currently ranked 4th in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss. According to the rules of the Champions League, the top 4 in the group advance to the top 4 until the winner is decided, the 2nd to 5th places enter the next group to continue the competition, and the 6th to 7th places are eliminated. Ding Junhui is currently in an awkward situation, and he still has to win at least 2 games to ensure that he reaches the top 4, and once he does not perform well tonight, he may be eliminated at any time.

Ding Junhui has maintained a total victory against Yan Bingtao in the previous 2 times, and now he is undefeated and forced, and China's former brother is also facing great pressure, and he must fight the 2nd day to have hope to stay in the Champions League. After beating Higgins 4-1 at the 2020 Northern Ireland Open, Ding Junhui has not beaten the TOP16 player for 424 days, and he will face Karen Wilson at 19:00 tonight. It is expected that the Chinese dragon will break the spell and overthrow the world's 5th place and join hands with Yan Bingtao to rush to the crown and prove himself with actions.
