On January 31, 2022, the World Taiwan Federation officially announced, the snooker players championship signing table was released, two Chinese players qualified, Gemini stars Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao joined hands to compete, both in the upper half of the district, is expected to meet the quarterfinals, compete for a semi-final seat, the world's first Selby lost, Ding Junhui also did not get the qualification, O'Sullivan's first round against Trump, which is expected.
The Players Tournament is held from February 7 to 13, only the top sixteen players in a single season can qualify for the championship prize money of 125,000 pounds, the defending champion is Higgins, who defeated O'Sullivan in the final last year to win the 31st ranking championship of his career, and this year's Chinese players only Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao qualified, Zhao Xintong is the top seed.
It is worth mentioning that the players' championship has a guaranteed bonus, the first round of outing can get ten thousand pounds, followed by the tour championship, only invite the top eight players in a single season, Zhao Xintong basically locked the qualification, Yan Bingtao also has to work harder, no matter how the two perform next, they will get the world championship seed seat in advance, then they can start directly from the main game.
Zhao Xintong, who ranked first in the single season, in the first half of the zone, the first round against Hawkins, the two sides had a fight in the British Championship, when Zhao Xintong won 6-1, Yan Bingtao against Gilbert, the two sides had a fight at the German Masters, Yan Bingtao won 5-3, the Chinese twin stars are expected to meet the quarterfinals, lock in a semi-final seat in advance, Fu Jiajun and Yan Bingtao have both won the runner-up in the players' tournament.
mark. Allen vs Richie. Wharton, both of whom had previously reached the final four of the ranking tournament, eventually lost to the Chinese player who missed the final, Mark Wharton. Williams vs. Gary. Wilson, more looking forward to Mark. Alan fights Mark again. Williams, staged a confrontational battle.
O'Sullivan in the second half of the zone, the first round against Trump, this has become the focus of the battle, O'Sullivan and Trump's record of the match is basically flat, the world's second against the world's third, the victory or defeat depends on the impromptu play, and eventually one person will be eliminated, Robertson vs. Karen. Wilson, the world's top four players in the set, who will stand out is difficult to predict, and everyone has a chance.
Higgins vs. Hussein. Wafi, Luca. Brechel vs. Jimmy. Robertson, the defending champion Higgins as long as he plays at a normal level, I believe that he won a final four seat should not be a problem, it is worth looking forward to whether Higgins and O'Sullivan can play again, and finally hope that the Chinese players can achieve good results, but also look forward to Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao's next performance, come on!
I wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best!
