On April 9, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship entered the 6th day of qualifying, and as many as 10 Chinese players will appear on this match day, including two Chinese derby matches. Youngster Lu Haotian challenged Lu Ning, Zhang Anda against Zhou Yuelong, no matter what the result, after these two games, the two Chinese players will end the World Championship journey early.
On the 6th day of the qualifiers, a small climax was ushered in, with 10 Chinese players appearing, which also shows that the overall strength of China's snooker has greatly improved.
The first is the last four matches of the second round of qualifying, Pang Junxu against Ajab, Scarlett playing as an amateur against Jamie Clark, Lei Peifan against Stuart Carrington and Wu Yize against Lichtenberg. Will these 4 Chinese players be able to advance together? Hopefully, and perhaps the hardest, is Scarlett's game against Jamie Clark, who played a dark horse role at the World Championships and was strong.
Then, the third round of the qualifiers was fully launched, and the two Chinese derby matches attracted special attention, first Lu Haotian against Lu Ning, followed by Zhang Anda challenging Zhou Yuelong, after these two matches, two of the Chinese players had to end the World Championship journey early.
It is worth mentioning that due to Liang Wenbo's passive withdrawal, Dominic Dell directly advanced, the winner between Lu Haotian and Lu Ning will face Dominic Dale in the fourth round, which is definitely a good draw, no matter who Lu Haotian and Lu Ning can win, facing Dominic Dell, the possibility of Chinese players getting this regular seat is relatively large.
In addition, the winner between Zhou Yuelong and Zhang Anda, the winner between Zhang Jianjian and Stephen Maguire, the Chinese players will definitely do their best to block the former seeded player Stephen Maguire.
The 31-year-old Li Xing will face Scott Donaldson in the third round of qualifying, who is hailed as Ding Junhui's nemesis, which is also a game worth watching. Richie Wharton made his debut this season, against Alan Taylor, Mark King against Michael White, Jordan Brown against Liam Davis, and these are also very interesting games.
I hope that the Chinese players will play at their best level, strive to get more victories, and launch an impact on the world championship seats!
