On April 14, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship Qualifier ended all competitions, and the World Championship Round of 32 was officially released! In the Chinese legion, the last 2 young generals who appeared were eliminated. Lei Peifan lost 9-10 to Wafi, while Yuan Sijun lost 7-10 to Highfield. So far, a total of 4 members of the Chinese legion have entered the krusk main stage, namely Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian.
On the last "Trial Day", two post-00s young players from China appeared. Repefan faced Vaffy, who is ranked 18th in the world, and lost very badly. He played extremely hard against his opponents in the game, and the two made their way to the decider. At one point, Repefan led 61-0, but the offensive bag was super red ball mistake. Then Lei Peifan's mobile phone meeting again failed to grasp. Waffi won 68-61 and beat Repefan 10-9.
Yuan Sijun's exit is also a pity. Facing Hayfield, ranked 43rd in the world, Yuan Sijun led 5-4 in the first stage, and the opponent's mentality also fluctuated. In the second stage, the two fought all the way to 7 draws. But then, Highfield scored consecutive 72 and 123 points to get the match point, and won the match point 69-36, and finally eliminated Yuan Sijun 10-7.
As a result, among the 24 players of the Chinese Legion who played in the qualification round, only Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian advanced to the main tournament, and the remaining 22 were eliminated successively. Ding Junhui has advanced to the main competition for 16 consecutive years, creating a miracle! In addition, with the ranking directly shortlisted, there are also the world's 7th Zhao Xintong and the world's 16th Yan Bingtao. Judging from the number of the top 32, the performance of the Chinese legion is not satisfactory.
In the history of the Snooker World Championships, the Chinese Legion has the most qualified for the main tournament in a single tournament in 2017, with a total of 6 people, of which 3 people rely on ranking to qualify, and 3 people rely on qualifiers. At this World Championship, the Chinese legion had 4 players to attack, with Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao as seeded players, while Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian were qualifiers. How far the 4 people can go, maybe there will be an answer when the signing form is released.
