On the evening of February 19, Beijing time, the Snooker 2022 Welsh Open ended another qualifying match in the United Kingdom, and China's famous Ding Junhui made a series of mistakes in the derby battle, but due to the opponent's performance of "Too Dish", he finally easily defeated his compatriots to enter the main tournament, and the main tournament will start on February 28.
"China's first brother" Ding Junhui is a banner that cannot be ignored in today's snooker circles, and he is also a benchmark figure in China's snooker, single-handedly supporting the gentleman's movement that is about to sink. Since his career, he has become the Asian champion with 14 ranking titles and 6 pars 147, and has won his place in snooker history.
However, in recent years, since winning the third crown of the British Championship in 2019, the Chinese brother has once again fallen into a rare professional trough, which has worried Chinese fans.
However, after Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong won the three major championships in succession, Ding Junhui's recent state has obvious signs of rebound, that is, he has repeatedly broken 100 high scores in the Champions League and reached the final of the Champions League.
In this campaign at the Welsh Open, Ding Junhui welcomed the Chinese derby in the first round, and his opponent was 17-year-old compatriot Gao Yang, which was the first time that the two sides had made a move in a professional match.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Yang, as a professional newcomer, has been "humiliated" by Xiao Te twice and two consecutive Northern Ireland Open championships due to his limited ability to resist pressure:
In 2020, he was blasted by Xiaote with 147 perfect points and was swept; 2021 was even more outrageous, and the whole game ended with no grain and swallowed eggs.
Against Big Brother, Gao Yang's ability to resist pressure and Ding Junhui's state recovery became the focus of the whole audience.
In the first set, Ding Junhui scored a single 59 points to take the lead, rewriting the score to 1-0.
In the 2nd set, Ding Junhui sacrificed a faint move, took the initiative to do defense improperly to provide assists, in the face of a good situation, Gao Yang could not play a super score, but lost another set at 41:50, the score became 2-0, Ding Junhui led.
In the following game, Director Ding gave assists three times in the 3rd set to encourage Gao Yang, but Gao Yang was still not angry enough, and even wasted it one by one with his amateur level.
In the end, Gao Yang was like a "lamb" to be slaughtered, in a game of "rookie chickens pecking at each other", Ding Junhui finally broke through the hundred and won easily with a total score of 4-0.
