On March 11, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker Turkish Masters entered the fifth matchday, and five Chinese players stormed the quarterfinals. Ding Junhui and Scarlett Play a derby, and regardless of the outcome, at least one Chinese player can reach the quarterfinals. Zhou Yuelong vs. Trump, which is obviously an uphill battle. Runin's opponent is Martin Gould, Yan Bingtao's opponent is Oliver Lanes, and as long as he wins one more game, Yan Bingtao can be in the top eight of the single season.
In this competition, Chinese players performed well, with 9 people breaking into the round of 32. In the second round of the main tournament, Ding Junhui eliminated Karen Wilson, Yan Bingtao defeated Slather, Zhou Yuelong eliminated Brechel, Scarlett defeated Tom Ford, and Lu Ning defeated Wu Yize in the derby, and the 5 of them advanced to the round of 16 together. Unfortunately, Zhao Xintong, Liang Wenbo, Yuan Sijun and Wu Yize were eliminated, especially Liang Wenbo, who failed to beat Trump with a 4-1 lead, which is a pity.
Next, five Chinese players will attack the top eight seats, including Ding Junhui and Si Jiahui's China derby. Ding Junhui staged a series of big reversals, and eliminating Karen Wilson gave him a lot of confidence and released pressure, after all, he had not won a seeded player in more than a year. From a technical point of view, Ding Junhui is still very good, if he can completely unload the burden, Ding Junhui has the opportunity to impact the championship.
Youngster Scarlett continued to create surprises and broke into the round of 16 as an amateur player, and the progress was very obvious. Facing Ding Junhui, Si Jiahui certainly has the opportunity to continue to move forward, the key is to watch the impromptu play, this game will be very exciting. Ronin's opponent is Martin Gould, which is also a match between the two sides. Yan Bingtao against the relatively weak Oliver Lanes, the promotion hope is very large, once the victory, Yan Bingtao will surpass Hussein Wafi, temporarily ranked eighth in a single season.
The focus battle is the famous Zhou Yuelong challenging the world champion Trump, because O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson and Selby are absent from the game, and Trump is the number one favorite to win the championship. However, Trump has not been in good shape this season and has not yet won the ranking championship. In this game, Trump is also in poor shape, but he reversed Liang Wenbo in the case of 1-4 behind, and will also release some pressure, depending on how Zhou Yuelong copes.
In addition, there were a number of strong conversations on this matchday, such as Higgins vs. Graeme Dort, Sean Murphy vs. Jack Jones, Ali Carter vs. Sam Craig, and Tachaia vs. Matthew Celt. After the final eight, this match day continues with the quarter-finals, hoping that the Chinese players will get more victories and launch an impact on the champion!
