On March 5, 2022, the World Federation of Taiwan came to announce the announcement of two world champions, Mark . Selby and Neil. Robertson, who withdrew from the recently started Turkey Open, chose to give up the qualification due to personal problems, it was clear that they did not want to travel long distances, and O'Sullivan asked the organizers for the appearance fee, which was eventually rejected, so that the world's top four were only Trump himself.
The Turkish Masters is a brand new snooker tournament, held in Antalya, this is the first time that Turkey has hosted a professional snooker event, the championship prize money of 100,000 pounds, overall better than most ranking matches, but there is a premise, that is, the need to go to the field to participate, which is difficult for individual players to accept, not only the cost of the problem, going out to participate in the need to bear greater risks.
The world's top sixteen players, only O'Sullivan did not register, to which he responded publicly, unless the organizers pay an additional appearance fee, he will never participate, and he does not want to toss, go to the field to participate in the game, this ranking match has limited appeal to O'Sullivan, but everyone did not expect that now Selby and Robertson have made a decision to withdraw.
Selby and Robertson withdrew from the game, And China's snooker ushered in a new positive, not only lacking two fierce opponents, originally Wu Yize in the postponement of the qualification against Selby, now replaced by Haydn. Ping Hai, the possibility of promotion increased significantly, Andruni's opponent Zach. Shurtti withdrew from the tournament, he was able to win without a fight, directly to the round of 32, this situation is not an isolated case, many people are reluctant to pass.
Chinese players actively signed up, Ding Junhui, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, Fan Zhengyi all entered the main round, Ding Junhui played against Milkins in the first round, and Zhao Xintong played against Michael in the first round. White, Yan Bingtao first round against Joe. O'Connor, the most unfortunate is Zhou Yuelong and Fan Zhengyi, the two sides met in the first round this time, no matter what the result, only one person can qualify, Fan Zhengyi is still expected to create another good result this time.
With O'Sullivan absent, Selby and Robertson retiring, the world's top five are trump and Karen. Wilson, both are determined to participate in this ranking tournament to compete for a place in the Tour Championship, as long as the top eight players in a single season can qualify.
Next do not rule out that there are also temporary retired players, the World Taiwan Federation currently does not have too many amateur players can arrange substitutes, so there will be a direct promotion situation, Zhao Xintong and Fan Zhengyi won the championship, to bring great encouragement to others, now a lot of the game to try to fight, constantly break through themselves, and finally hope that Chinese players can achieve good results, come on!
