On April 11, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship ended the 7th day of qualifying, and many matches broke out. The biggest underdog is undoubtedly the famous Kurt Maforlin's 1-6 defeat to amateur David Liri, and the winning David Liri will face Ding Junhui in the final round of qualifying. In addition, Fan Zhengyi, who won the ranking championship this season, was killed by the lower ranked Chris Walkering and suffered a round of qualifying.
The focus of this matchday was undoubtedly the Chinese derby between Ding Junhui and Tian Pengfei, and in the end, Ding Junhui won 6-4 and successfully advanced. However, Ding Junhui did not wait for the expected opponent Kurt Maflin, because he was out of the cold. World No. 36 Kurt Maforlin against amateur David Leary, a 46-year-old veteran with mediocre strength, but Cote Maforlin suffered a defeat.
After the opening, Cott Maforin scored a single 74 points to win the first set. Unexpectedly, he was in a slump after that, and the whole game was constantly wrong, David Leary shot a hundred, three shots of 50+, and won 6 consecutive sets, 6-1 victory over Kurt Maforlin, a wave of three consecutive wins to advance to the final round of qualifying, against Ding Junhui. Regardless of the final outcome, David Leary's ability to eliminate Robbie Williams and Kurt Maflin is a testament to his prowess.
In addition to Tian Pengfei being eliminated, there is another Chinese player who regrets to stop, that is, the European Masters champion Fan Zhengyi. Facing the lower-ranked Chris Walkerlin, Fan Zhengyi took the lead four times and won the match point 5-4, but unfortunately he lost two consecutive sets in the last minute and was eliminated 5-6, which was also a big cold.
After winning the European Masters, Fan Zhengyi encountered a round trip in three consecutive races, namely the Turkish Masters, the Gibraltar Open, and the World Championship Qualification Tournament, and Fan Zhengyi lost in the decider, which should be summarized well.
In addition, Ben Wollaston lost 1-6 to Joe O'Connor and Jack Jones lost 5-6 to Tachaia, these two games are also low-ranking players to win over high-ranking players, but the ranking gap between the two sides of the game is not large, although the results are also more unexpected, but in fact, it is also in the normal category, after all, the state of presence is good and bad!
