The Players Tournament has begun. In this players' championship, the Chinese legion has two players, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, who are the first seed and the ninth seed of the tournament. In the first round of the competition, Zhao Xintong made a series of mistakes when facing the runner-up of the Xinke Masters Hawkins, and was revenged 3-6; Yan Bingtao followed the first round of the German Masters to eliminate Brother Potato again without any danger, and the world championship seed qualification crisis gradually eased.
Yan Bingtao's next round against Hawkins, if he can win, waiting for him is Williams or another world championship seed potential contender Walton, this signing table can be said that everyone has a chance, I wish Yan Bingtao can break through from the first half of the zone successfully.
Compared with the first half, the competition in the lower half is more fierce. A battle of focus ended early this morning, and in an extremely fluid offensive battle, O'Sullivan was even better, beating Trump 6-3. Trump continued the slump of rankings this season without the final four, with tickets to the Tour Championship in jeopardy.
In this game, if O'Sullivan wins, he will return to the world number one, but it will not be easy for the "Rockets" to win three more games to achieve this goal. O'Sullivan will meet Robertson in the quarter-finals, and the two have recently played each other in the World Grand Prix final and the Masters quarter-finals. Robertson, who had just recovered from COVID-19, was still looking for form, but once he found firepower, the Melbourne machine was a problem for anyone. If he crosses the hurdle, O'Sullivan could meet defending champion Higgins in the semi-finals. In the past year or so, Higgins has been in a winning streak against O'Sullivan, and it is unknown whether the "Rockets" can end the losing streak.
Today's interactive topic: Do you think Yan Bingtao can break through from the top half of the zone and reach the final of the Players Championship? Can O'Sullivan reach the top of the world after the Players' Championship?
