At 21:00 Beijing time on February 19, 2022, the World Snooker Welsh Open Qualifiers continued, and Ding Junhui, a chinese brother, will face Chinese teenager Gao Yang in the competition to compete for the main tournament. Tian Pengfei, known as "China's most handsome", will open a round of 64 against Thailand's new champion Sankam. In terms of overall strength, Ding Junhui and Sankam are both the more competitive side, so they will be very hopeful to defeat their opponents to win the right to advance. Judging from Ding Junhui's state some time ago, his current state has improved a lot, and in the game against Gao Yang, he will have a good chance to win the game. Tian Pengfei's downturn is likely to make him lose the game.
Ding Junhui recovered in form or defeated Gao Yang to advance
At the beginning of the season, Ding Junhui fell into the bottom of his career because of the long-term neglect of the battle, and he even had a difficult time playing a single 50+. In recent games, his state has obviously picked up, he can not only play a single 50+ performance, but also often stage a single shot to break the hundred. This also means that Ding Junhui's state has improved, although this is still a certain distance from his normal level. For the young player Gao Yang, his current state is still very unstable, sometimes performing well and sometimes in a very low state. In the face of a Chinese brother, he will be somewhat afraid of this opponent. After all, Ding Junhui is China's greatest snooker player, and if he wants to beat him, he must overcome his inner fear.
Sankam is expected to beat Tian Pengfei to advance to the main tournament
As an experienced veteran, Tian Pengfei has always been known for his steady batting style, in addition to his handsome appearance, Tian Pengfei has also been named "Grinding King". But coincidentally, his opponent Sankam was dubbed the "Little Mill King". Sankam is a player who is both offensive and defensive, and in a way, he is a scaled-down version of Selby. Sankam has a strong game control ability, but also an attack master, excellent and balanced ability to make him not to be underestimated. In view of the recent downturn in Tian Pengfei, Sankam is of course a player with a high probability of advancing to the main tournament. Although there is an objective gap between Tian Pengfei and San kam in terms of comprehensive strength, this does not mean that San Kam will be able to win, after all, Tian Pengfei's tactics are still very good. Therefore, combined with the comprehensive strength of both sides, the probability of Sankam's promotion is very high, but it may not be particularly easy for him to win.
Both games are very distinctive
As a Chinese brother, Ding Junhui wants to make a strong comeback in the game, and he must play his own form. And his opponent Gao Yang wants to gain confidence in the game, he must first defeat Ding Junhui to win his desire for victory. So this game is more like a game where the old players want to get back to the top and the young players want to find confidence. So for both sides, they are eager to beat each other in the game to win their confidence. Compared with the match between Ding Junhui and Gao Yang, the match between Sang Kam and Tian Pengfei is more evenly matched. Sankam's attacking and defensive skills are very good, and although Tian Pengfei is not in very good shape, he can occasionally play eye-catching performances, especially when he faces players of the same type. So this game between them is still very much worth looking forward to. From an objective point of view, Ding Junhui and Sangham are definitely the dominant side, but the accident and drama of the game can often bring a lot of unexpected results. Not to mention that the qualifiers are still a short-term game of grabbing four, which also means that whoever is in better shape is more likely to win or lose.
