The 2021-2022 snooker Turkish Masters entered the fifth matchday competition today, the Chinese team has a total of five players to play in the round of 16, in the last matchday competition, the Chinese players performed with joy and worry, Ding Junhui, Yan Bingtao, Zhou Yuelong and Lu Ning defeated their opponents after the strong promotion to the round of 16, plus the previous matchday promotion to Si Jiahui, the Chinese team has a total of five people to reach the Turkish Masters Round of 16, the overall performance is quite good. Veteran Liang Wenbo was defeated in the match against Trump, he lost four consecutive sets to lose 4:5 when he led 4:1, and the young player Yuan Sijun lost 2:5 to Creggy and did not qualify. In today's 1/8 final, Chinese players will attack in an all-round way to compete for the quarterfinals, of which Ding Junhui will stage a "Chinese derby" with young player Si Jiahui, although one person is destined to be eliminated, but it also allows the Chinese team to lock in a top eight seat in advance. Zhou Yuelong challenged the world's third-ranked Trump, while Lu Ning was going to compete with the "Glasses Man" Gould for the quarterfinals, and Yan Bingtao, who was promoted in the upper and lower rounds, was played against Laines, and if he could play normally, Yan Bingtao was expected to lock in a place in the quarterfinals.
Two consecutive rounds of competition to reverse the defeat of the opponent's Ding Junhui to meet the young general Si Jiahui, the two of them have been in good shape so far in this game, Ding Junhui has accumulated a lot of self-confidence after two consecutive victories over strong enemies, in addition, his state has shown an upward momentum, which is a good omen for Ding Junhui, after all, he has been hovering in the trough for two years, this competition is an opportunity for Ding Junhui, if you can beat the young general Scarlett Si Jiahui, Ding Junhui can reach the quarterfinals, creating the best results in the ranking competition in the past six months or so, This is a great benefit for Ding Junhui to prepare for the World Championships that start next month. However, it is not easy for Ding Junhui to pass the pass, Scarlett is in good shape in this competition, the first round of the game will be the seeded player Anthony McGill eliminated, the second round of the game is a big victory "Mr. 147" TomFord, the morale is currently booming, against Ding Junhui, Scarlett Hui obviously will not be tied up. Interestingly, Scarlett's fame battle was to defeat Ding Junhui at the age of 14 and was familiar to fans. The victory or defeat of the two people in this confrontation depends on the impromptu play, and Ding Junhui, whose state is gradually recovering, has a certain advantage.
Yan Bingtao 1/8 final opponent is Laines, objectively speaking, Yan Bingtao's recent state is not in the best, last week's Welsh Open was also eliminated early, this game Yan Bingtao's first round of competition performance is strong, but the second round of fierce battle with Slather for more than five hours before the difficulty of winning the promotion, although this shows Yan Bingtao's tenacity, but also shows that Yan Bingtao's continuous offensive ability still has many deficiencies, Yan Bingtao can enter the third round with luck components. Fortunately, the comprehensive strength of the opponent Lynes in this round of competition is not strong, if Yan Bingtao can play his own advantages, defeatIng Lynes to reach the quarterfinals can still be expected, it is worth mentioning that Lynes defeated China's famous Xiao Guodong in the first round of the game, and Yan Bingtao wants to justify the Chinese players in this game. Runin's opponent in this round of competition is the "glasses man" Gould, Gould's comprehensive strength is not weak, he has been ranked in the world's top sixteen for a long time, in recent years, Gould's performance is not as strong as before, which is an opportunity for Luning, but Lu Ning's state of this game has not been adjusted to the best, in order to defeat Gould, Lu Ning must ensure that he should play at the level he deserves, otherwise the fierceness is more auspicious.
Zhou Yuelong, known as "Sichuan Ding Junhui", challenged the world's third-ranked Trump in this round of the competition, and the two narrowly won the opponent after nine sets of bitter battles in the last round, Zhou Yuelong defeated Brecher, and Trump reversed the victory over Liang Wenbo. This season Zhou Yuelong's state has fluctuated too much, he has been out early in the previous ranking matches, the stability is very poor, fortunately, in this game Zhou Yuelong's state has rebounded significantly, against Trump, Zhou Yuelong, although not optimistic, is not completely without opportunities. Trump reached the welsh Open final last week, but finally lost to Joe Perry, this game is a great opportunity for Trump to once again impact the 23rd ranking championship, he obviously will not easily plant a fight on Zhou Yuelong, but Trump is not in good shape this season, so far has not won a ranking championship, against Liang Wenbo is also "dead escape", if you can not improve the state, Trump "upset" loss is not impossible.
