On the evening of February 26, the semi-finals of the 2022 Snooker European Masters began to compete, and Fan Zhengyi, a post-00 young player who reached the top four of his career for the first time, played against Scottish past champion Graeme Dort. In the end, he continued his previous fiery feeling, eliminating Dortmund 6-4 and advancing to the final, which was the first time in his career that he reached the final of the ranking tournament, and will compete with the winner between O'Sullivan and Liang Wenbo for the final championship.
Born on January 27, 2001, Fan Zhengyi recently celebrated his 21st birthday. With his career breakthroughs at the German Masters and the European Masters this season, Fan Zhengyi has once again attracted attention from the outside world, just as he did when he became famous at a young age. Fan Zhengyi, who was only 8 years old at the time, was famous in the Chinese billiards circle, known as another "billiard prodigy" of Chinese billiards, and even attracted the attention of Ding Junhui, Liang Wenbo and others. When Fan Zhengyi was a child, he had already made a bold statement that his future dream was to become a world champion.
As Fan Zhengyi grew older, he began to emerge in the domestic professional arena, and has won the championship title in many domestic competitions. In 2017, Fan Zhengyi won the IBSF World Junior Snooker Championship title, thus obtaining two years of professional qualification, but in the first two years of his career, he performed inaction and was eventually relegated to the 96th place in the world, and then he returned through the professional qualification competition, after another dull season, this season's relegation year, Fan Zhengyi suddenly opened up. Perhaps it was Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong, who were trained together, who had made good achievements one after another, stimulated him, and suddenly opened up the second pulse of Ren Dou and staged miracles one after another.
When Fan Zhengyi went abroad and joined the British Army to compete in professional competitions, his personal emotional life also progressed. In the summer of 2021, Fan Zhengyi officially announced his relationship on social media, and his girlfriend is also a British student, a part-time model, and his appearance is quite online. However, with his girlfriend returning home after graduating from school, Fan Zhengyi can only open a transnational relationship with his girlfriend, so the two can only show their love and appeal to their hearts. During this European Masters, when Fan Zhengyi created good results in succession, his girlfriend always paid attention to him and cheered for him: "Congratulations to Xiaoyi for successfully entering the top 4!" It's getting harder and harder! ”。
