China's famous player was diagnosed and forced to withdraw from the German Masters! Zhao Xintong Yan Bingtao is at risk of infection. The 2022 Snooker German Masters is about to kick off, there were originally 8 Chinese players will play in the main competition, but what people did not expect is that before the game, two Chinese players announced their withdrawal, of which 17-year-old Gao Yang announced his withdrawal for personal reasons, and the famous Liang Wenbo was forced to withdraw from the German Masters because of a positive nucleic acid test and confirmed infection, so that the opponents of the two, Trump and Andrew Higginson, will directly advance to the second round.
Originally Liang Wenbo's opponent in the first round was Andrew Higginson, but before the game, the World Federation of Taiwan officially announced that Liang Wenbo quit the German Masters because of a positive nucleic acid test, from the official news, Liang Wenbo was not diagnosed in Germany, but when he received nucleic acid testing before going to Germany, he was already infected, which was not good news for several other Chinese players, because Liang Wenbo participated in the single limited time competition before, and Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and many other Chinese players participated in the single limited time competition. Although it is not clear whether there is a close connection among these Chinese players, but everyone is playing on the same field, which means that Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and other Chinese players have the risk of infection, and there is also the fact that the epidemic situation abroad has become somewhat serious, and I hope that Chinese players can protect themselves.
Ding Junhui, who everyone is more concerned about, did not qualify for the main tournament, and he lost to veteran Davis in the qualifier and did not qualify for the regular tournament. At that time, after the qualification round, a total of 8 Chinese players advanced, namely Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, Zhou Yuelong, Liang Wenbo, Zhang Anda, Lu Haotian, Gao Yang, Fan Zhengyi, but now Gao Yang and Liang Wenbo have withdrawn, so only 6 Chinese players have participated, and some of these 6 Chinese players will encounter strong opponents in the first round.
In the first round, Zhou Yuelong played against McGill, Zhao Xintong against Mark Williams, Yan Bingtao against Gilbert, Fan Zhengyi against Highfield, Lu Haotian against Mark Allen, and Zhang Anda against Brechel. From the perspective of the matchup, Lu Haotian and Zhang Anda's promotion is the most difficult, of which the strength of Mark Allen needless to say, Brechel is a very good performance in the recent past, in addition, the match between Zhao Xintong and Mark Williams should also be very fierce, both of them have a very good performance in the near future, this game is destined to be a battle.
