On the evening of March 25, Beijing time, in the first round of the Snooker Gibraltar Open, Fan Zhengyi was killed by No.80 Hu Jill 3-4, and was tragically killed by a round of travel! As the champion of the Stingo European Masters, facing Hu Gill, who is only ranked 80th in the world, Fan Zhengyi lost, very unexpected, and broke out of the big cold!
Born in 2001, Fan Zhengyi has made a big splash this season, winning consecutive strong opponents in the European Masters, and defeating the world's first person and idol O'Sullivan 10-9 in the final, thus winning the first championship of the personal career ranking competition, setting a number of historical records for world professional snooker, and it has to be said that Fan Zhengyi can look forward to the future.
At this Year's Gibraltar Open, Fan Zhengyi may also compete for the 150,000 pound prize money at the top of the "European Series", but unexpectedly, Fan Zhengyi fell in the first round.
In this campaign, facing Hu Gil, who is ranked 80th in the world, Fan Zhengyi lost the first set 17-58. After that, Fan Zhengyi won two consecutive sets with a multi-shot start, 54-18 and 72-32, without a single shot 50+ performance, indicating that Fan Zhengyi felt very general and was not in the best state. In the fourth set, Hugel equalised the General Score 95-7. In the fifth set, Fan Zhengyi finally played a single 50+, a single shot of 60 points, a 79-40 victory, a big score of 3-2 lead, the first to get the match point. But then, Hurgil also scored a 102-point shot to save the match point and drag the game into the decider. In the decider, Fan Zhengyi lost 24-68, the score was 3-4, and was tragically reversed by Hu Jier + killed!
Since this Year's Gibraltar Open is the last stop of the season's "European Series", Fan Zheng officially withdrew from the £150,000 prize money dispute after his upset, and on the previous match day, Zhao Xintong, who also had the opportunity to compete for the grand prize, also lost, and China's two top ranking champions have withdrawn from the £150,000 prize dispute.
