In the early morning of April 12, the third round of the snooker World Championship qualification round was over, so far, the final round of the qualifier "decisive day" list was also officially released, the Chinese legion locked 5 people, they are Ding Junhui, Zhou Yuelong, Lu Haotian, Yuan Sijun and Lei Peifan, there are 2 amateur players, they are Michael White, David Leary, in addition, the 32-man lineup includes 7 "Crucible newcomers" who have never reached the World Championship main game, they are Alan Taylor, David Leary, Joe O'Connor, Ashley Hugh Gill, Jackson Page, Ray Peifan and Hussein Waffy.
The best performance of the Chinese legion in the World Championships was in 2017 and 2019, when 6 people entered the Main Tournament of the World Championships respectively, in 2017 it was Ding Junhui, Fu Jiajun, Liang Wenbo, Xiao Guodong, Yan Bingtao, Zhou Yuelong, Ding Junhui, Zhou Yuelong, Zhao Xintong, Tian Pengfei, Li Xing, Luo Honghao, this year's qualifiers had 5 people to enter the "Decisive Day", plus Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, who were already waiting in the main tournament, this year's World Championships are theoretically up to 7 Chinese players, if 4 of the 5 people win , then at least will also be tied with the 6-man record, if all 5 win, then the 6-man record will be broken.
In addition, two amateur players, White Jr. and Leary, will return to professional circles next season if they win directly. In terms of "Kebao newcomers", because O'Connor and Hugh Gil, Lei Peifan and Wafi are two pairs of "newcomer derby", this means that at least 2 "Kebao newcomers" will appear in Crucible at this World Championship to realize their dreams, theoretically, there will be up to 5 newcomers to Appear in Crucible, for them, this is the reward and reward for their hard work, I wish Yuan Sijun and Lei Peifan two young players to fight more and more fiercely, break through the bottleneck to enter the World Championship main match, and strive for the opportunity to perform on the top stage with top masters.
