The Snooker Gibraltar Open began this afternoon Beijing time. As of press time, Ding Junhui, Zhao Xintong, Zhang Anda, Lu Haotian and Xiao Guodong have won the first game and will play again later today. Unfortunately, due to flights, many Chinese players had to withdraw from the tournament.
Looking back at the games that have ended, Ding Junhui faced the amateur player Lloyd almost no test, 4-0 easily passed; Zhao Xintong quickly adjusted back after losing a set first, winning 4-1 against Clark; Xiao Guodong 0-2 behind to win four consecutive sets to eliminate Devlin; Zhang Anda withstood the crazy counterattack of the former 16 player Hawkins, creating the first cold goal since the opening of the game 4-3.
Lu Haotian attacked 147 in the first set of the 4-0 victory over Taylor, but unfortunately fell on the 13th black ball, and missed the first 147 of his career.
The Gibraltar Open was founded in 2015, and in the inaugural tournament, Fu Jiajun scored a 147 (51st of the star billiards table) in a 64-32 match against Byrd, and eventually won the championship.
Seven years on, can Gibraltar witness 147 again? Can the 105th par 147 of the Star Billiards table be born here? The fierce battle continues, let's look forward to it together!
