The 2022 World Snooker Championship is about to start, the final 32 draws have been released, looking forward to the first round of competition, 4 games can be called a focus battle: Mark Williams Michael White, Karen Wilson Ding Junhui, Murphy Maguire, O'Sullivan Gilbert.
The above 4 matches were selected, without considering the nationality factor, it is indeed full of highlights, or strong dialogue!
The battle between Mark Williams and Michael White was a Welsh derby. Mark Williams does not need to introduce more, in the World Championships alone, Uncle Ma has been king 3 times, and he has staged a naked run after winning the championship in the final, which is definitely a temperamental person. Michael White is known as "Little White" by many fans, young and famous, once the first person after the 90s (the first of the post-90s players to win the large ranking championship), however, Michael White was once relegated after squandering his talent, this season is still an amateur player, the qualification game has passed 4 levels in a row to enter the World Championship, and his life has fluctuated greatly.
Karen Wilson vs Ding Junhui, such a first-round showdown, from the perspective of various factors, can be said to be the most anticipated. As a seeded player, Karen Wilson had bad luck, and in the first round, he drew Ding Junhui, the most famous non-seeded player, from the total number of ranking champions, the 14-crowned Ding Junhui ranked 9th in the entire history of snooker, absolutely crushing Karen Wilson. Recently, the two have also met 2 times in a row, Ding Junhui defeated Karen Wilson at the Turkish Masters, ending his embarrassing 14-game losing streak against the world's top sixteen, and in the subsequent Gibraltar Open, Karen Wilson completed a rapid revenge.
Murphy pk Maguire, is also a strong set of dialogue. Murphy is a snooker Grand Slam winner and a past champion. Maguire is the winner of the rankings, and the title is also very loud. This group of duels is similar to Karen Wilson vs Ding Junhui. In terms of instant state, world champion Murphy is even worse than Maguire, Who has already warmed up his hand after passing several levels in the qualifiers, Murphy or upset a round trip!
In addition, the world championship 6 champions O'Sullivan met Gilbert in the first round, which is also exciting! Gilbert is definitely one of the hardcores of the professional snooker arena, and O'Sullivan, despite his superior strength, must not be careless.
Judging from the signing situation, in the first round of the World Championships, 5 people have dark horse potential: Jackson Page, Little White, Lu Haotian, Tachaia, Donaldson.
Post-00s player Jackson Page is a rookie in the world championship and has a reputation as a "genius" in the United Kingdom, and the first round opponent Barry Hawkins is not the top master. White Jr. is expected to regain his former style, playing veteran Mark Williams in the first round. Lu Haotian once reached the round of 16 at the World Championships, challenging the 2015 World Championship champion Bingham in the first round. Thachaia's firepower in the qualifying stage was extremely fierce, blasting a single shot of 145 points, and the opponent in the first round of the main round was Higgins. Donaldson, who had won Ding Junhui three times in a row in 11 days, faced Mark Allen in the first round of the World Championships.
