On the evening of April 10, Beijing time, the third round of the snooker World Championship qualification tournament continued. As a result, ST European Masters champion Fan Zhengyi lost 5-6 to Wakelin, who was ranked 50 away, and suffered a round trip.
Fan Zhengyi was out
Not long ago at the European Masters, Fan Zhengyi killed the famous rocket 10-9. After the game, the 21-year-old will look at another new star after Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao. Many even believe that Fan Zhengyi has surpassed the prestigious Ding Junhui. However, the one-round trip of the World Championship qualification has exposed One or two of Fan Zheng's shortcomings, proving that his strength is not as good as Ding Junhui, and it is difficult to go further without change.
First, the white ball is not in a good position. From the perspective of actual combat, Fan Zhengyi's white ball walking ability is not small compared with Ding Junhui. In the whole game, Fan Zhengyi at least three times because of the white ball movement error, directly interrupted the attacking opportunity. Otherwise, the game will not drag on to the decider at all, and then be killed by the opponent. Fan Zhengyi's accuracy is not doubted, but even if the accuracy is good, the white ball is completely out of position. If Fan Zhengyi reaches Ding Junhui's goal level, he will be an absolute top player in the world.

Second, the batting is too sloppy and the defensive skills are poor. In the game, it can be seen that once the opponent makes a mistake, Fan Zhengyi does not think about it, and comes up with a shot. Even the commentator of Huya lamented that the young man hit the ball too fast and did not play his own rhythm. The commentator also said bluntly: each player has his own rhythm, rocket O'Sullivan hits the ball fast, but people play at their own pace, which is not everyone can imitate. Fan Zhengyi snapped the ball, a bit of learning the taste of rockets, but his own skills are not enough, he can't learn it.
In addition, Fan Zhengyi's defensive skills are not enough, and he is also very obvious in actual combat. In the battle with Wakelin, the defensive stalemate between the two sides was most of the time the opponent started first. It was only Wakelin's lack of one-shot winning ability that gave Fan Zheng many opportunities. If last night's game was against masters such as Robertson, Selby and Trump, Fan Zhengyi would have delivered a big defeat.

Snooker is more comprehensive technology, Fan Zhengyi is very strong in attack, but the defense and position are not enough, these two major shortcomings determine that he still needs to hone. Otherwise, it's hard to go far in the big game. What do netizens think about this?
