On 12 April, the Snooker World Championship qualifiers will enter the "Showdown Day" competition, and the winner will advance to the main stage of the 2022 World Championships and make an appearance at the Crucible Theatre. On the first day of the decisive battle day, there will be 8 duels, the Chinese legion Ding Junhui, Zhou Yuelong and Lu Haotian took the lead, the opponents were David Lili, Stephen Maguire, Dominic Dale, in addition to Ding Junhui, Zhou Yuelong and Lu Haotian have played 2 regular matches, and the experience of the decisive day should be no problem.
Ding Junhui isware of upset
Ding Junhui's opponent David Lili, although an amateur, has also played professionally, although the career data is relatively bleak, but in the 2019 Northern Ireland Open 4-2 defeated Ding Junhui, this is the second time the two sides met, Ding Junhui's overall state although significantly recovered, but there are still many low-level mistakes, the defense is still not as rigorous as the heyday, plus Ding Junhui once in the first round of the World Championship also grabbed 10 in the game, 9-10 upset defeat to Michael Vosley, who also entered the main tournament from the first round of the qualifiers, Although the probability of losing is relatively small, this time against David Leary can not relax, beware of upset.
Zhou Yuelong encountered a strong enemy
Zhou Yuelong's opponent Maguire needless to say, everyone is very familiar, but in fact, there is no need to be afraid, Maguire this season is quite mediocre, only reached the top 8 of the two ranking matches, most of the other games are a round trip, the world ranking has fallen to 41st, Zhou Yuelong Although this season also only has a record of the top 8, but to a certain extent, the first half of the season is too affected by objective factors, forced to give up a lot of games, the mentality is greatly affected, the world ranking ranks 25th, the two have met 4 times, Zhou Yuelong won the most recent match.
Dark Horse staged a "newcomer" battle
Another game is also worth paying attention to, England's two post-90s players, Joe O'Connor and Ashley Hugh Gill, both have not scored the World Championship main game, Hugh Gill this time consecutive clean sheet Dean Young and 6-5 upset Martin Gould, with a dark horse posture to play the decisive day, successfully completed relegation while impacting his first trip to Crucible, and O'Connor has won the best newcomer award of the WST season, the strength should be slightly stronger than Hugh Gill, the two deer who died, please pay attention to who killed.
Other matches, Alain Taylor vs. Scott Donaldson, Michael White vs. Jordan Brown, Matthew Sert vs. Tapchaia Uno, Tom Ford vs. Jamie Jones.
