Blockbuster! Fu Jiajun, a 43-year-old Chinese snooker star, has officially announced that he will return to the professional snooker tour for the World Snooker Championship in April. I believe that many fans are happy for him, due to eye diseases and the epidemic, Fu Jiajun finally returned to the field again after two years!
In the first round of the 2020 Welsh Open, after Fu Jiajun lost to Ding Junhui, he needed to recuperate because of the recurrence of eye diseases, and then the new crown virus continued to break out, and fans never saw Fu Jiajun again on the field. As early as 2017, Fu Jiajun's world ranking once rose to no. 5 in the world, but unfortunately affected by the retina and the floating objects in his left eye, Fu Jiajun underwent laser surgery, and the level of competition began to decline.
Nevertheless, World Snooker gave Fu Jiajun a wild card qualification for the two-year tour, along with Stephen Hendry, Jimmy White and Kendahdi.
Born in 1978, Fu Jiajun officially transferred to the professional snooker tournament in 1998, and among the snooker players, Fu Jiajun has always been a mainstay of the professional tour. He has won three ranking championships: the Grand Prix, the Australian Open and the Scottish Open. At the same time, he reached the final of the 2008 British Championship and the 2011 Masters and finished second, and twice reached the top four of the World Championships.
The 43-year-old Fu Jiajun officially made a comeback and participated in the World Championships held in April, when Fu Jiajun will achieve what kind of results, wait and see, look forward to Fu Jiajun can continue to play a wonderful performance.
As we all know, in the sport of snooker this season, Chinese players have achieved gratifying results, first Zhao Xintong won the British Championship, and then Fan Zhengyi defeated Roño Sullivan to win the European Masters championship. In the Champions League, Liang Wenbo and Yan Bingtao won the group stage successively, and the two once advanced to the final in the championship. Zhang Anda also reached the quarterfinals of the Welsh Open, and Ding Junhui's status slowly recovered.
It is not difficult to find that Chinese players are occupying an increasingly heavy weight in snooker. I hope that fu Jiajun, who has come back, can achieve good results.
