Tonight, the snooker Players Tournament kicked off its second quarter-final, with Yan Bingtao and Hawkins narrowly meeting, with the winner in the Round of 4 against Richie Wharton. No one expected that Yan Bingtao, who is known for his defense, would actually take the lead in the first set, play the 4th shot of the tournament to break the hundred, refresh the highest personal score, and almost break the record of 141 points of Brother Lu, which can be called Zhao Xintong's possession!
After Ding Junhui's world ranking fell out of the top 16, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao 2 new generation players carried the Chinese snooker flag, and the style of the 2 people was also very different: Zhao Xintong played ornamentally, attacked and defended the far platform accurately, known as the Chinese rocket; Yan Bingtao grinding and controlling skills are pure, good at defensive counterattack, psychological quality is super first-class, and the headwind overturn is a good play. Zhao Xintong must maintain the feel to win, Yan Bingtao can also persist to the end by fighting, which is the biggest difference between the 2 people.
The first round of the Zhao Xintong Players Tournament was out because of the cold hand and did not break the 100, and was completely suppressed by Hawkins and finally eliminated 3-6. Yan Bingtao blasted a 3-stroke blast in the first round to break the 100, beating Gilbert 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. Tonight's match against Hawkins, Yan Bingtao continued the fiery state, decisively attacked to break the deadlock as soon as he came up, and then played a single 139-point clean sheet against the opponent, leading 1-0 to get a fantastic start.
This is Yan Bingtao's fourth shot of this tournament, and he also set a new record of 135 points in his previous single shot with 139 points, almost surpassing the highest score (141 points) set by Karen Wilson. Tonight's Yan Bingtao can be called Zhao Xintong's possession, and his single-shot winning ability is quite terrifying. As long as Yan Bingtao is steady and steady, entering the top 4 will be a high-probability event, and Hawkins can't stop him!
