With Judd Trump winning his 23rd ranking championship, the 2022 Snooker Turkish Masters also came to a successful end, although the "Chinese brother" Ding Junhui failed to reach the final, but the performance of this event is perfect enough.
There is no doubt that Ding Junhui, who has been silent for two years, finally ushered in the outbreak at the end of the season, and the ranking final four also set the best result in the past two seasons, and the 20,000 pound prize money also made him rise to the 30th place in the world to temporarily retain his top 32 ranking.
However, there are still some people who satirize Ding Junhui on major social platforms that he has reached the time of retirement, but objectively speaking, although Ding Junhui's recent performance cannot be compared with his peak period, it has definitely improved with the naked eye compared to before.
The Turkish Masters Ding Junhui's single-shot winning ability has been significantly improved, and the percentage breaking rate is higher than the first, which indirectly shows that Ding Junhui's strength to walk around the ball has returned, and the excellent defense after several rounds has also been called a world-class performance by Turkish fans.
Although the Turkish Masters was not held in the Uk, the British media has been paying attention to the performance of the players, and chris, a famous media commentator in the British media, was also greatly praised in the show when he witnessed Ding Junhui's performance.
Chris praised: Ding Junhui's failure to win the championship is simply regrettable, but I think Ding Junhui's trip to Turkey has proved himself, he is still one of the best players in snooker, and his mother ball control and defense are still in the world class.
It has to be said that Ding Junhui's defense and white ball delicacy are still lacking in many domestic players, just as Chris said that Ding Junhui has proved his strength, and he did not have too many problems in the semi-finals, but he lacked some luck compared to Serte.
Not only Chris, but even "Billiards Emperor" Stephen Hendry, after watching Ding Junhui's performance during the Turkish Masters, also said that he was gradually recovering, and bluntly said that Ding Junhui is still the leader of China's snooker.
Hendry said during the Turkish Masters: Although more and more young Chinese players have emerged this season, they are obviously not comparable to Ding Junhui's achievements, and Ding Junhui is under pressure that others do not have, and it can be said that he is still the leader of China's snooker.
It can be seen that Ding Junhui has begun to slowly recover this season, and he himself understands that he urgently needs a championship to dispel the discussion and doubts of the outside world, Ding Junhui is very smart, he is very clear that the championship is linked to his commercial value, which is also his current problem and pressure.
Hendry can be described as a word, directly pointing out Ding Junhui's problem, it is conceivable that he also understands the stakes, after all, if Ding Junhui continues to fail to achieve good results or championships, then the snooker cause he is fighting for will also have huge problems.
Whether it is for snooker or for the cause brought by snooker, Ding Junhui is indeed trying to find his form, he himself said during the Turkish Masters that he is on the way back, and has never given up the dream of reaching the top of Crucible, and we as fans have only blessings.
