The draw for the first round of the 2022 Snooker World Championship finale ended yesterday evening, with all the final 32 draws finalised.
The signature form is as follows (with the timing of the first round of the main round):
Four Chinese players played. Ding Junhui drew Karen Wilson in the first round, which can be said to be the next signing. Brother Lu's achievements in Crucible in the past 6 years are super stable, playing in the quarterfinals, two semi-finals, and one runner-up. And the two have a record of fighting, Brother Lu is also dominant, especially in recent years, Ding Junhui absolutely won less and lost more, but this year's Turkish Masters, Ding Junhui won Brother Lu.
Zhao Xintong's first round against Clark, the history of the two two times against the Gibraltar Open, Zhao Xintong won. But Clark is a player who almost reached the quarterfinals of the World Championships, coupled with Zhao Gongzi's erratic state, the victory or defeat is unpredictable.
Yan Bingtao and Wei Kelin's historical records have won once each. In terms of strength and experience, Yan Bingtao has a chance. Lu Haotian vs. Bingham, the two have never played each other before, Bingham has performed mediocrely this season, especially in the second half of the season, Lu Haotian can still rush to the world championship old jianghu.
Here are two questions from the previous post about relegation:
1. A friend mentioned that if Hegel reaches the round of 16 and Page reaches the quarterfinals, then Carrington and Tian Pengfei will be relegated. That's right, but the probability is too low.
2. Both Hegel and White Jr. have reached the main stage of the World Championships, and both of them can save or obtain professional qualification by playing in the main tournament, so that they can give up two positions in the single season ranking relegation, so high yang relegation. I personally think this statement is not correct. Indeed, World Snooker has given the saying that it is relegated to the main tournament of the World Championships, but to relegate through this channel means that players can neither enter the top 64 relegation through the ranking, nor can they be relegated through single-season ranking. Therefore, these two people will still occupy the place of relegation in a single season.
Finally, post a list of the ages of a player who has won the World Championship for the first time:
Since 1986, only three players have won the World Championship for the first time after being over 30 years old, Selby 30, Alberton 31 and Bingham 38. Among them, he was 35 years old, and only Bingham won the championship for the first time.
