On the evening of February 20, Beijing time, the 2022 Welsh Open ended another qualifying competition in the United Kingdom, and the world women's snooker star Wu Anyi performed well in the "Wu Jia Derby" competition with professional newcomer and Lanzhou boy Wu Yize, during which he blasted out two high scores, and finally defeated his opponent to enter the main tournament!
So far, since Wu Anyi competed in men's snooker last year, she has lost the first round of the ranking tournament five times and finally ushered in a historic first victory!
This round of the "Wujia Derby" battle has attracted the attention of Chinese fans, and both sides are professional newcomers to this season's World Snooker Tour:
18-year-old Wu Yize from Lanzhou, Gansu Province, the 2018 IBSF World Youth Championship champion, with the domestic selection competition to qualify for the professional competition, the current best result is to reach the 2021 British Championship Top 32, although the ball is sharp, can open the bow left and right, is an offensive golfer, but the technical ability is relatively weak, especially defense, the next two years do not have the strength to impact the top 32.
The latter, Wu Anyi, a famous snooker woman from Hong Kong, has won the women's snooker World Championship twice, and defeated the "Queen of Snooker" Evans to win the women's Masters in November last year.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Anyi has played 5 ranking matches since winning the men's snooker last year, and the results have all fallen in the qualifying round.
But one of the best performers was in the Scottish Open qualifying round in September 2021, when Wu Anyi fiercely fought "Nerve Knife" Shaun. Murphy, who has played two high scores of 60+ in succession, grabbed the match point 3-1 on aggregate, but in the end he could not keep the results and was successfully overturned by his opponent.
This battle encountered Lanzhou young player Wu Yize, the first set, the two sides in the offensive end of the mistakes, but Wu Anyi mistakes lower, has the black ball on the spot of the powder ball lost, and then in the face of a good situation, actually put the rod to push the red ball did not score, Wu Yize took advantage of this to play to the super point to pull out the top 1-0.
But in the next game, Wu Anyi quickly adjusted her strategy, built a solid defense line to force Wu Yize to frequently provide assists, and even hit a single shot of 80+ high scores for the first time, pulling two consecutive sets to surpass the score 2-1.
In the 4th set, Wu Anyi continued to concoct the defense as an attack, in the case of falling behind 30+, efficiently grasped Wu Yize's offensive mistakes, and used the last red ball as an obstacle to force the opponent to solve the mistake and send an assist, taking the lead in 86:43 to grab the match point, 3-1!
Wu Yize, who woke up like a dream, successfully saved a match point by blasting a single 60+ in the 5th set, and the score became 2-3.
In the end, Wu Anyi staged a one-shot victory in the 6th set, eliminating Wu Yize with an aggregate score of 4-1 and scoring a historic goal in the men's snooker ranking match!
Who says women are inferior to men?! Congratulations to Anyi Wu for setting the Chinese snooker women's record of beating men in the rankings.
