Although the 2022 Snooker Players Championship is in full swing, it may be over for domestic fans, because the only two Chinese teenagers yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong after the first round have been eliminated.
For the majority of domestic snooker fans, it is the most exciting thing to see their players competing for honor in the international arena, and as the players' championship is coming to an end, the next tournament will also rekindle the war.
On February 15, 2022, the Snooker Welsh Open will officially kick off, with Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Selby, Judd Trump, Neil Robertson and many other superstars competing, and the Chinese snooker Legion is also a collective, with a total of 20 people fighting bravely. Of course, the most anticipated by domestic fans are the following three domestic players.
1. Ding Junhui
With Jimmy Robertson reaching the semi-finals in the Players' Championship, Ding Junhui's ranking has once again suffered a decline, and now he has fallen to 31st in the world, which is not expected to be worse than the fans expected before the season to fall out of the top 16.
This season, Ding Junhui has lost many large-scale events with ranking thresholds due to the serious decline in his state, and this Welsh Open is also one of the few competitions that Ding Junhui can participate in, which can be described as the most critical battle of his personal career.
However, what makes fans more pleased is that not long ago the Champions League can see that Ding Junhui's state has picked up, especially the ability to win with one shot has been greatly improved, which is also due to the recent hard work of training, this Welsh Open Ding Junhui if he does not want to fall out of the top 32 must do something.
2. Zhao Xintong
There is no doubt that Zhao Xintong is the most outstanding young player in the Chinese snooker army recently, first the British Championship strong victory to create history, followed by the german masters defeat yan Bingtao to win the second crown of his career, this performance is also touching many fans.
Although many fans have always said that Zhao Xintong is only a flash in the pan, objectively speaking, even if Zhao Xintong will have a period of low tide for a period of time, we have every reason to believe that he can adjust back in time, because Zhao Xintong has a tenacity in him, and most players do not have strong self-confidence.
More importantly, Zhao Xintong still has the vitality of young players, no matter whether he wins or loses, his face is always full of confident smiles, which is what domestic players should learn, and the technical playing style can be slowly learned and improved, but the mentality must be correct and Zhao Xintong he has done.
3. Yan Bingtao
Yan Bingtao has not won any championships since the Masters won the championship, and the outside world has begun to question his true strength, but frankly, fans who pay attention to the game know that Yan Bingtao is really innocent.
The word stability is most appropriate for him, Yan Bingtao's 200,000 pounds of prize points at the Masters can not be counted in the ranking, so he can continue to remain in the top 16 now through his own stable play, as long as Yan Bingtao can play normally to advance to the second half of the stage is not a problem.
Of course, in addition to the above three players, the Chinese snooker legion also includes Cao Yupeng, Wu Yize, Zhou Yuelong, Xiao Guodong and many other famous players, hoping that the Next Welsh Open Chinese players can play beyond the norm and do their best to win their own honors.
