On February 20, 2022, Beijing time, the snooker Welsh Open qualifiers continued, Ding Junhui eliminated Gao Yang 4-0, and joined hands with Li Xing, Zhao Jianbo and other Chinese players to advance to the main tournament. Famous Player Tian Pengfei lost three consecutive sets in a 2-1 lead, and was eliminated miserably, and the 24-year-old Xu Si also missed the regular game.
Six Chinese players appeared on this match day, including Ding Junhui and Gao Yang's derby, Ding Junhui was a skilled player, played a shot to break the hundred, easily eliminated Gao Yang 4-0, and advanced to the main tournament. In addition, Zhao Jianbo narrowly defeated David Grace 4-3, Li Xing eliminated Heathcote 4-1, and the three Chinese players joined hands to advance to the main tournament.
In addition to Gao Yang being eliminated by Ding Junhui, Tian Pengfei and Xu Si also regretted stopping the qualifiers. Tian Pengfei played against Thailand's Sam Kam, who at one point led 2-1, but then did not play well, losing three consecutive sets and making it 2-4. In the whole game, Tian Pengfei did not have a single shot of more than 50 points, and the offensive state was indeed very sluggish.
Xu Si played seven innings, dragging the game into the decider after falling behind twice, but unfortunately was killed by Matthew Celt's single 50 points in the final moments and was unfortunately eliminated 3-4. Xu Si is 24 years old, but his results in the professional arena are not ideal, mainly because the play is unstable, it is time to work harder.
Two other masters appeared on the day of the match, Lisowski and David Gilbert. Lisovsky scored consecutive 76, 87, 102 and 65 consecutive shots while trailing 2-0 to eliminate Stuart Carrington 4-2. David Gilbert did not play well, losing 2-4 to Joe Perry, who scored a single 142 points, the highest single score since the start of the game.
On the final matchday of the qualifying round, there were two more Chinese derbys, Namely Liang Wenbo vs. Zhang Jiankang and Wu Yize vs. Wu Anyi. There are also strong conversations, such as Tacchaia vs. Robert Milkins, Tom Ford vs. Scott Donaldson, Martin Gould vs. Wollaston, and Richie Walton vs. Gerald Green. These games are all evenly matched, and the key is to play on the spot.
After the end of the Welsh Open qualifiers, the European Masters main tournament followed, Zhao Xintong and Ding Junhui did not have the opportunity to compete, Yan Bingtao led the Chinese players to play, this season entered a critical period, I hope that Chinese players play the best level, strive for good results and improve the ranking, lay the foundation for the next World Championships!
