On March 10, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker Turkish Masters broke out 4 big cold spots. In the first round of the regular round, Mark Williams and Mark Allen were out. In the second round of the main competition, Zhao Xintong and Tom Fude were eliminated by low-ranking players. Zhao Xintong held the signature in his hand, if according to the performance of the previous championship, he could fully advance to the final four, but missed the opportunity.
In the first round of the main tournament, world champion Mark Williams scored a single shot of 72 and 102 points, but lost to Matthew Stevens 3-5, suffering a round of the main game. The winning Matthew Stevens will face Ali Carter in the next round, who shot a three-shot 50+ to win 5-1 over Jamie Jones.
Then, world Number 11 Mark Allen was out, and he and Jack Jones teamed up to give a great game. In the first inning, Jack Jones scored a single 129 points. In the second set, Jack Jones scored a single 61, but was reversed by Mark Allen's single 64. In the fourth inning, Mark Allen scored a single 63 point but lost the set 64-66, trailing 1-3 at the end of the first four innings.
Back from the break, Mark Allen began to shoot a single shot of 112 and 83 points, dragging the game into a decider. Unfortunately, Mark Allen made a mistake in the decider, and Jack Jones scored a single shot of 79 points to beat Mark Allen to advance 5-4 on aggregate, and the next round was against Hussein Wafi. Seeded Mark Allen lost 4-5 and was somewhat dissatisfied after the game, with regret on his face.
In the second round of the main tournament, there were also two games that broke out. Seeded player Zhao Xintong played poorly and achieved nothing on the offensive end, losing 2-5 to Matthew Celt and missing the round of 16. Judging from the signing table, Zhao Xintong's 1/4 district does not have too strong opponents, and if he can take out the previous level, it is expected to easily advance to the final four. Unfortunately, Zhao Xintong still played less stable and was hit again.
Another Chinese player, Scarlett, made a big upset, facing the powerful Tom Ford, Scarlett hit a five-shot 50+ to eliminate the opponent 5-1 and advance to the round of 16.
Don't forget, this season Scarlett is an amateur, defeated Sean Murphy in the British Championship, and eliminated Anthony McGill and Tom Ford at the Turkish Masters, and the improvement is quite obvious. We have reason to believe that Si Jiahui can make a major breakthrough in his career like Zhao Xintong and Fan Zhengyi. However, the next round is very challenging for Scarlett, his opponent is the winner between Ding Junhui and Karen Wilson, no matter who you face, it is very difficult, only to let go!
