At the first snooker Turkish Masters, 9 Chinese players reached the round of 32, including Ding Junhui, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and Liang Wenbo. In last night's 32-16 run, Scarlett played well with a 5-50 plus 5-1 win over Tomford to advance to the round of 16. The 24-year-old British Championship champion Zhao Xintong lost 2-5 to Matthew Sert and missed the third round, which is really a pity.
The 19-year-old Skahui transferred to the professional snooker tournament in 2019, and at the English Open that same year, Scarlett Fy reached the round of 16 in the ranking rounds, which was also Scarlett's best record. At this year's Turkish Masters, Scarlett eliminated Dale in the qualifying round to advance to the main tournament, defeating Anthony McGill 5-2 in the first round to advance to the round of 32.
Scarlett maintained a good competitive feel in the match against Tomford, opening with 60 points in a single shot, followed by 50 points and 93 points in the next four consecutive innings. In the 5th set, Tomford scored 54 points to win the first set, and in the 6th set, Tomford took the lead, but unfortunately there was a mistake in the middle, scarlett seized the opportunity to single-shot 68 points to lock in the win, taking the lead in the round of 16.
At the same time, there is also 24-year-old Zhao Xintong, many fans have high hopes for Zhao Xintong, this season Zhao Xintong has won the British Championship and the German Masters. In the first round, Zhao Xintong and Michael White staged a fierce duel, Zhao Xintong fell behind 3-4 at one point, and finally won in two consecutive sets. Last night, Zhao Xintong was not in the form, and there was no bright spot in the whole game with Matthew Serte, who won with 3 strokes of 50 plus.
Zhao Xintong did not score a 50 plus score throughout the whole process, which is really a pity. The 46-year-old John Higgins played a wonderful performance last night, sweeping Holt 5-0 to advance to the round of 16, and the fans watching the live broadcast said bluntly: Wizard Higgins wants to win the championship again.
This season, John Higgins first reached the tour final four times, but unfortunately he failed to win the championship. In the Champions League, Higgins started from the group stage and advanced all the way to the end of defeating Bingham to win the championship. Although not a ranking champion, at least for Higgins, who has reached the finals 4 times and is not winless, it is a kind of affirmation.
The Turkish Masters will continue tonight with a 32-in-16 match, while China's brother Ding Junhui will face a big test against karen Wilson, the world's No. 5 post-90s leader. Since 2017, Ding Junhui has lost to Karen Wilson for 5 consecutive times. Many fans have bluntly said that if Ding Junhui beat Wilson, it means that Ding Junhui's slump has recovered.
