The highly anticipated Snooker Turkish Masters continues to compete at the start of the fourth tournament, and in the previous round of 64 matches, the Chinese snooker army performed extremely well, and a total of 9 people advanced to the round of 32, which also set the best record of the season.
In a match that ended earlier, Judd Trump almost overturned, and fought for nearly four hours against Wakelin before finally winning 5:3 to advance to the finale, higgins was in a hot state 5-0 defeat to Holt to successfully advance to the round of 16, of course, the most anticipated by fans is the showdown between Zhao Xintong and Scarlett.
Zhao Xintong's duel for domestic fans is not only looking forward to the promotion so simple, but more importantly, in the last round of the game Zhao Xintong is obviously changing his own way of playing, the past strong desire to attack more and more into defense, I don't know if it is related to the previous O'Sullivan's guidance and training.
However, through the last round of duels, Zhao Xintong is completely unsuitable for this style of play, perhaps there are many problems in the way of playing that has just been improved, which has directly led to a decline in excellent accuracy, and this round of Zhao Xintong's match against Sert, who is not weak, also makes everyone sweat.
At the beginning of the game, the two were obviously not in the state, but in contrast, Zhao Xintong's feel was even worse, not only did the defense leak consecutive balls, even the best bench was frequently inaccurate, and Serte seized the opportunity of Zhao Xintong's poor state to win the first two sets 2:0 by multiple hands and piecemeal hits.
Zhao Xintong, who was behind, still couldn't find his familiar batting feeling, on the contrary, Serte's side played more and more confidence to take a 3:0 lead in a round, and the key fourth inning Zhao Xintong finally stopped pursuing his accuracy, began to stabilize and look for opportunities through defense, and finally forced Serter to complete a foul in the color ball stage to complete a super score and pull back a set.
After resting, Zhao Xintong was still in a state of wandering and Serte seized the opportunity to reach the match point first, although Zhao Xintong struggled to win back a set, but with the bizarre mistake of the middle bag in the seventh set, the result of the game was also announced, and finally Serte successfully advanced to the round of 16 5:2
In fact, Zhao Xintong's unexpected exit has long been a sign, the last round is also offensive and defensive aspects of no victory but the problem was also exposed, when after the game, many fans bluntly blamed O'Sullivan's recent guidance caused by Zhao Xintong's playing style "four unlike", and the remarks of the live barrage during this showdown were also endless and unfriendly.
In fact, whether it is related to O'Sullivan's guidance to change the way of play, Zhao Xintong's state of this Turkish Open is indeed somewhat unexpected, and the fans who stay up late to watch the game are also confused, and they also hope that Zhao Xintong can spend his bottleneck period as soon as possible to win more championships.
On the other hand, the situation of another Chinese youngster is to make fans overjoyed, as a business player to enter the Turkish main tournament Si Jiahui continued the previous hot state, 5:1 victory over Tom Ford to advance to the round of 16, this achievement is also the best record in Scarlett's career, and is expected to continue to break.
Next, the players of the Chinese snooker army will appear in the round of 32, hoping that they can withstand the pressure and continue to create their own best records.
