On February 14, 2022, Beijing time, the snooker Women's World Championship decided the final four, the two champions Evans and Wu Anyi were out of the cold, the world champion Ryan Evans was defeated 1-4, and Hong Kong, China' Wu Anyi played 7 full sets, and was killed by the opponent in the last moment. It is worth mentioning that O'Sullivan's cousin Catalano also participated in this competition, but was out of the game in the 16-8 match.
At the Women's World Championships, 53 players signed up to participate, and the first stage was a group round robin, divided into 12 groups, and the top 2 of the group entered the knockout round, that is, 24 players participated in the knockout round. World champions Ryan Evans and Wu Anyi are of course the big favorites to win the championship. In addition, there is another player who is particularly interesting, her name is Catalano, who is O'Sullivan's cousin.
Although Catalano directly advanced to the round of 16, in the 16-8 competition, Catalano was eliminated by Thailand's Nucharu and missed the quarterfinals. In the quarter-finals, Thailand's Nucharu continued to work hard, fighting hard for 7 innings, and finally defeated Wu Anyi 4-3 by competing for the black ball.
China's famous Wu Anyi has participated in professional tour competitions many times before, and she dared to fight against male players, especially against Sean Murphy, and once saw the hope of victory. Although Wu Anyi failed to win the first victory in the professional competition, in the women's snooker field, her status is relatively high, and surprisingly, she was eliminated by thai players in the quarterfinals, breaking out of the big cold.
There was also a big upset in the game, and Ryan Evans, the leader of women's snooker, was also out, and she lost 1-4 to Belgian Wendy Youngs, which can be said to be a fiasco. In addition, Jamie Hunt swept another Belgian player 4-0, and the local star Kenna won a derby with a score of 4-2, and she also won a place in the final four.
At this point, the final four of this year's Women's Snooker World Championship have all been released, with Wendy Youngs vs Jamie Hunt in the first half and Kenna against Thailand's Nucharu in the second half.
The focus is on Thailand's Nucharu, who just won a tournament in an open tournament and is rising aggressively. This also shows that Thai snooker has also developed more comprehensively, not only the male players, but also the competitiveness of several female players in Thailand has also been greatly improved.
We Chinese mainland still have fewer female snooker players, or less competitive. With Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong successively achieving good results, it will definitely attract more teenagers to participate in this sport, and I believe that China Snooker will soon make greater progress!
