In the early morning of April 7, Beijing time, the snooker 2022 World Championship Qualification Tournament in the United Kingdom "Xie Village" officially launched the second round of competition, in another game that has ended, "Nerve Knife", Beijing Tongzhou young player Lu Haotian performed well in the derby battle, and finally broke through the hundred to capture compatriots to reach the third round of the qualifiers, with this battle, Lu Haotian achieved the "victory and great escape" relegation success in advance.
Lv Haotian participated in the World Championship qualification tournament as early as 2014, but for two consecutive years of poor performance in the first round out, and then suffered relegation, after two years of dormancy, the reborn Lu Haotian changed his conservative style and played aggressively, and as a result, he re-competed in the World Championships in 2018, breaking through 4 levels for the first time to reach the World Championship main tournament, and swept Fu Jiajun in the first round of the main tournament, but unfortunately lost to Master Huo and did not qualify for the top 8.
In the early morning of the 7th, Lu Haotian, who was guarding the second round, faced the young player Xu Si, who defeated the amateur golfer 6-4 in the first round to advance.
Curiously, the two sides have been playing in professional competitions for many years and have not met in the big tournaments before.
In this battle, the two sides competed fiercely for a confrontation, first Xu Si played a single 62 points to win the first place 1-0, but Lu Haotian then played a single 80 points and also made it 1-1 in color.
In the next game, Xu Si played another single 79 points, 82 points to rewrite the score to 3-1, but after the break, Lu Haotian felt back up, and even hit the single shot 57 points, 93 points, 67 points, and won 4 consecutive rounds to surpass the score 5-3 and take the lead in grabbing the match point.
Under pressure, Xu Si successfully saved a match point by playing a single 65 in the 9th set, but in the end he could not stop Lu Haotian from breaking through the hundred, and finally fell under the small Lu club with an aggregate score of 4-6.
Before the world championship qualification tournament began, Lu Haotian's provisional ranking once slid to the relegation warning line, ranking 64th, and then due to the update deduction of the 2020 World Championship prize points, Lu Haotian's ranking not only did not decline, but jumped 11 places to temporarily rank 53rd. With this victory, Lu Haotian received a prize of £10,000, which allowed his personal world provisional ranking to soar to 46th, far away from the relegation area.
It is worth mentioning that Lü Hao's next battle is still a derby battle, and the opponent is the new generation of "Mo Wang" Lu Ning.
