On 21 February, the Snooker European Masters will be played at Milton Keynes in the UK. The world's top four Selby, O'Sullivan, Trump and Robertson will all compete, with a postponement of the qualifiers. In terms of the Chinese legion, although a brother Ding Junhui did not register, and Zhao Xintong, the champion of the Xinke Ying Championship and the German Masters, was eliminated in the qualification round, there were still 15 people such as Yan Bingtao participating in the battle, which can be described as a huge lineup.
Ding Junhui did not participate
In the just-concluded Welsh Open qualifiers, Ding Junhui beat his little brother Gao Yang 4-0, it should be said that he was in good shape, but somehow missed the European Masters. Zhao Xintong was defeated by Aaron Hill, who was ranked 83rd in the world in the previous qualifying round, and regrettably missed the regular tournament. In addition to these two famous players, a total of 15 players competed in the European Masters. They are: Yan Bingtao, Xiao Guodong, Zhou Yuelong, Gao Yang, Fan Zhengyi, Li Xing, Cao Yupeng, Lei Peifan, Xu Si, Pang Junxu, Wu Yize, Zhang Jiankang, Liang Wenbo, Yuan Sijun, Zhang Anda.
Zhao Xintong was out of the qualifiers
At 18:00 Beijing time on the 21st, 7 Chinese players appeared, including two Chinese derbys, namely Yan Bingtao vs. Li Xing, and Zhou Yuelong vs. Gao Yang. Among the other three Chinese players, Xiao Guodong passed the Hicks, Cao Yupeng challenged Perry, and Fan Zhengyi encountered The Hill who eliminated Zhao Xintong. At 3 a.m. on the 22nd, Lei Peifan came out to meet Robertson, which was also a postponement of the qualification match, and the winner entered the main game. In terms of strength comparison, If Lei Peifan wants to pull out the radish, he needs to play an extraordinary level.
Yan Bingtao participated
At 18:00 on the 22nd, there were 6 more Chinese players, including Xu Si and Pang Junxu, who launched a civil war, and the winner advanced to the second round. At the same time, Wu Yize played against O'Brien, Zhang Jiankang played against Patrick, Liang Wenbo vs Jones, and Yuan Sijun talked to Carrington. At 22:30, Zhang Anda, the last chinese player to appear, will face the winner of the qualifying tournament between O'Sullivan and Bond. From the analysis of strength, Zhang Anda's opponents are most likely rockets.
