The full results of the Snooker Turkish Masters Qualifiers are out and are tentatively scheduled for March 14-20 in Antalya, Turkey. Mainland player Ding Junhui led 13 players such as Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao to meet in romantic Turkey. During the Turkish Masters qualifiers, another event is also underway. In the Champions League final, Higgins narrowly beat Bingham 3-2 to win his third Title in the Champions League, while finally crushing his title of "Runner-up Reaper" of the season.
Today, the scramble for the Players Tournament also began, with the match live at 3am, with 6 wins in the first round of 11 innings: Neil Robertson vs Karen Wilson, Mark Williams vs Gary Wilson. Tonight at 21:00, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao will also appear. Zhao Xintong vs Hawkins, Yan Bingtao vs Gilbert.
The Players' Championship is a tournament that only players who rank top in a single season (up to the German Masters) can participate in, and is also a well-known welfare event. Everyone who appears receives an appearance fee, and even a round of travel has a prize of £10,000. Zhao Xintong has a high outbreak this season, winning two titles in the British Championship and the German Masters in two months, which is also his first time to participate in the Players Championship, and everything is strange and new to him.
Zhao Xintong and Hawkins have played each other 6 times in the past, and Zhao Xintong has the advantage of 4 wins and 2 losses. The most recent encounter was in the semi-finals of this season's Snooker German Masters, when Zhao Xintong eliminated Hawkins 6-1 and finally eliminated Yan Bingtao to win the championship. Yan Bingtao and Gilbert have played each other 4 times in the past, and Yan Bingtao has the advantage of 3 wins and 1 loss. The two's most recent encounter was also at the German Masters, when Yan Bingtao eliminated Gilbert 5-3 in the first round.
Selby has not played well this season, resulting in him not qualifying for this Players Tournament. If you want to be careful, Yan Bingtao personally changed his opponent from Selby to Gilbert. In this regard, Yan Bingtao said, "Both players are very good players, no matter which player they play against, it will not be easy for me." I will give my all in either opponent. The blow of losing to his good brother Zhao Xintong did not make him stagnant, and after ridiculing himself in the circle of friends, he entered the intensive training. Looking forward to how the two players will perform today.
