On March 26, Beijing time, the Snooker Gibraltar Open ended all the third round of competition, and finally only Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian, two Chinese players, advanced to the round of 16, Fan Zhengyi made two consecutive round trips after winning the European Masters, Zhao Xintong stopped the second round, Zhou Yuelong lost in the third round, the TOP16 only Trump, K. Wilson, N. Robertson and Bingham reached the round of 16, O'Sullivan was out of the first round, Higgins, Allen, Brechel, Lisovsky, etc. have stopped the third round, as detailed in the following figure:
In the first three rounds, Bingham blasted 147 in the first round of a 4-1 win over Green, which was the official record of 174 strokes 147, the season 8 of 147, the individual 9 of 147, and the fourth in history in terms of 147 totals, behind O'Sullivan's 15, Higgins' 12 and Hendry's 11, but Bingham set a magical record - hitting 147 in the professional game for 5 consecutive years! This is the first in history, even O'Sullivan, at most only 3 consecutive years to hit 147, this record is probably difficult for future generations to break.
In the 150,000-pound competition in the European series, Higgins and Allen, who have been out, temporarily topped the table with 101,000 pounds, and the catch-up is N. Robertson, Trump and Wharton, of which Trump and Walton meet in the quarter-finals, and the winner between the two must win the championship to surpass Higgins and Allen. N. Robertson only needs to reach the final to surpass Higgins and Allen, so Higgins or Allen need to get the £150,000, hoping that Robertson can't reach the final, the remaining two can't win, and Robertson will at least reach the final, and the other two can't win.
In the Chinese team, Lu Haotian was quite lucky, his own 4/4 zone O'Sullivan and Allen two strong opponents out of the first hand, leaving himself with Milkins, and the winner between Han Cowan and Wollaston, of which Han Kaun reached the round of 16 for the first time in his career; Ding Junhui met J. Robertson in the 1/8 final, who was ranked 15th in the single season rankings, the state was relatively stable, but the two had played each other 4 times, Ding Junhui had not lost, and 1/ 4 Final potential opponent K. Wilson was in Turkey that ding Junhui ended the record of no win over the top 16, so Ding Junhui was psychologically intimidated by J. Robertson and K. Wilson.
As long as it is played normally, the winning side is not small. Once the level is passed, then there are only two fierce battles left in the semi-final and the final, and in the short-term game of 7 innings and 4 wins, Ding Junhui has every hope of ending the championship drought.
