On April 10, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship broke out continuously! World No. 17 qualifier Rich wharton lost 4-6 to Alan Taylor and was eliminated. And Mark King, who is ranked 41st in the world, lost 1-6 to Michael White, who did not have a world ranking, and was dismal.
Richwood has reached the round of four and quarter-finals several times this season and is currently ranked 17th in the world, just one step away from being directly qualified for the main tournament. But now it seems that it has become a natural barrier. Facing fellow veteran Taylor, Rich wharton started 2-0. But then he won four straight sets, scoring 52, 54 and 133 points. However, after that, Walton collapsed strangely, losing 4 consecutive sets and finally losing 4-6.
In addition, Mark King, who is ranked 41st in the world, is in no state against michael White, an amateur player who has fallen out of the world rankings. Aside from a single 51-pointer at the start, Markkin was barely able to form a continuous offense. White, a former genius teenager, then won 5 consecutive sets, defeated Mark King 6-1, and burst out a super big upset!
In the Chinese Legion, 6 players played 4 out and 2 people advanced. Zhou Yuelong narrowly defeated Zhang Anda 6-5, Lu Haotian defeated Lu Ning 6-3, Zhang Jiankang lost to Maguire 3-6, and Li Xing lost 5-6 to Donaldson. Li Xing's defeat was particularly unfortunate, and in the case of a 5-3 lead, he squandered three match points and was reversed by his opponent.
On the upcoming matchday, the Chinese legion will continue to attack. Fan Zhengyi, who won the ranking tournament this season, will face Wakelin. Ding Junhui officially debuted against compatriot Tian Pengfei. However, this game started at 2:30 a.m. on the 11th, which is not friendly to Chinese audiences, and fans with conditions can choose to watch.
