The 2022 Snooker Turkish Masters continues with a 32-in-16 match, with one game that stands out in particular, that is, China's brother Ding Junhui faced world No. 5 Karen Wilson, who played two consecutive 100-game breakers to advance to the Round of 16 under the disadvantage of falling behind 1-3. Next, Ding Junhui will play against Scarlett, and there is no doubt that Ding Junhui is determined to advance to the top 8.
As we all know, Ding Junhui's world ranking has plummeted since the end of the British Championships, and now the world ranking is only 32nd. Since winning the World Open Championship in 2017, Ding Junhui has been in a slump and continues to this day. Fans are also looking forward to Ding Junhui's recovery as soon as possible, and join hands with young Chinese players such as Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong to continue to carry forward China's snooker.
The Turkish Masters, a newly developed ranking tournament in Europe, has a prize money of up to £100,000. At the just-concluded Welsh Open, perhaps fans have felt that Ding Junhui's competitive state has improved, playing a 3-shot breaker against Holt in the first round, and then despite losing to Roninho Sullivan, Ding Junhui still shot 4 strokes of 50 plus, while O'Sullivan only scored 80.
At this year's Turkish Masters, Ding Junhui fell behind Milkins 1-4 in the first round, and finally advanced with 2 strokes to break 100 and 50 plus staged a big reversal. Then Ding Junhui faced the powerful Karen Wilson, and the fans said bluntly before the game: If wilson is defeated, Ding Junhui is expected to win the championship.
Ding Junhui was a bit slow and hot at the beginning, and won the first set with difficulty, but then lost 3 consecutive sets in a passive way. In the fifth set, Ding Junhui scored a single 73 points, followed by a single 105 points and 100 points to shoot two consecutive hundreds to get the match point. In the 8th set, the two were caught in a fight, and you came and went in the end, ding Junhui won 83-68 to advance to the round of 16.
Congratulations to Ding Junhui! According to the schedule, Ding Junhui will play a derby with Scarlett to compete for the top 8 places. In this Turkish Masters, Ding Junhui was divided into the first half of the district, and after two rounds of fierce fighting, Ding Junhui's fierce opponent in the upper half was only John Higgins. It has to be said that Higgins has still performed the best this season, reaching the tour finals 5 times and winning the Champions League in one fell swoop.
At present, the players in the top half of the zone also include Ronin, Gould, Tachaia, Serte, Higgins, Dort, Scarlett and Ding Junhui. In the end, it remains to be seen what Ding Junhui can achieve.
