On April 11, Beijing time, the third round of the Snooker World Championship Qualification Tournament broke out of the big cold! Ma Fulin, who had reached the quarter-finals of the World Championships, was upset 1-6 by David Lilili, who had lost the world ranking, and finally lost out. In this way, Ding Junhui received great good news, because the decisive round will be against David Lili, not Ma Fulin, who is close to his own ranking.
After the qualification table was released, Ding Junhui was considered to have received a good signing. Because his potential third and fourth round opponents are Tian Pengfei and Ma Fulin, respectively. Tian Pengfei Ding Junhui is very familiar, and there is a crushing level advantage in the combat record. Therefore, the biggest test left for Ding Junhui is Ma Fulin. Sure enough, Ding Junhui defeated Tian Pengfei 6-4, but he did not expect that Ma Fulin himself dropped the chain.
At the 2020 World Championships, Maflin eliminated Higgins 13-=10 to advance to the quarter-finals. Even in the ensuing quarter-finals, Ma Fulin only lost 10-13 and almost reached the quarter-finals of the World Championship. At present, Maflin is ranked 36th in the world, and his opponent Liri's world ranking is gone, relying on wild cards to come to the qualifiers. But it seems that a game of strength and weakness has been played in the opposite direction.
After the game began, both played a good offensive continuity, with Maflin scoring a 74 points in a single shot to lead 80-57. But soon, the game came to Leary's side, and he shot a single shot of 59 and 115 points in a row to back the game. The two then battled, but Maflin always made mistakes in the key ball, and Liri won three consecutive sets 76-44, 59-36, 87-36 to win the match point. In the last set, Li Li scored a 63-point clean sheet against his opponent, and finally advanced to the cold, and will face Ding Junhui in the decider round.
For the rest of the race, Serte, Tachaia, Jamie Jones, Gilbert, Hamilton, Jimmy Robertson, Wakelin and O'Connor advanced. On the 11th, the Snooker World Championship qualifier will usher in the remaining 12 third rounds of competition, which will produce the remaining 12 places in the round of 32. The decider round will be a long-term format of 19 innings and 10 wins, and I hope that the Chinese players will have good luck.
