Unwillingly, this is the truest psychology of China's snooker brother Ding Junhui in the first round of this World Championships after leading four times, but was eventually eliminated. I have to say that today's Ding Junhui is indeed not as strong as before, although he wants to prove himself again, but he always feels a little powerless. After another exit from the first round of the World Championships, Ding Junhui also equaled his worst result since participating in the World Championships. However, although Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian, two Chinese players who played from the qualifiers, were eliminated in the first round. However, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, the two seeded players, have advanced strongly to the round of 16, and Zhao Xintong has the opportunity to achieve his previous bold words.
For Ding Junhui, Chinese fans have great expectations. After all, in any way, Ding Junhui is still a Chinese snooker brother in the hearts of most Chinese fans. His current achievements, whether it is Zhao Xintong or Yan Bingtao, there is still a long way to go to achieve his achievements. Although the past two years have fallen into a downturn, after Ding Junhui entered this season, his heart once again ignited his fighting spirit and wanted to return to the peak. In fact, Ding Junhui's current state is indeed much better than the previous two seasons. This World Championship, although it failed to get the status of seeded players, can only start from the qualification round. But Ding Junhui performed well in the qualifiers, winning two consecutive sets to advance to the main stage.
However, Ding Junhui, who entered the main round, was a strong opponent in the first round, and was the No. 5 seed Wilson of the tournament. In the face of a first-class master like Wilson, Ding Junhui is not dominant, and the fans before the game are not optimistic that Ding Junhui can advance. After all, whether it is from the historical results or this season's competition, Ding Junhui is in the inferior position. The two sides have met 14 times before, with Ding Junhui trailing with 6 wins and 8 losses. In the 4 meetings this season, Ding Junhui is only 1 win and 3 losses.
After the start of the game, Ding Junhui's state was still OK. In the first three sets, Ding Junhui won and led 3:0 with a big score. Still, Wilson caught up. But Ding Junhui still held the lead in the first stage, and the big score was 5:4 to enter the second stage. In the second stage of the game, Wilson started first and tied the score. After that, Ding Junhui once again led 6:5 with a big score. After the two sides played 6:6, Ding Junhui scored the second shot of the game in the 13th set, once again leading 7:6. But in the ensuing game, Wilson broke out, winning two straight sets to bring the score back to 8:7, which was also Wilson's first lead in the whole game. Subsequently, Ding Junhui scored the third shot of the game to break the hundred, and the score was tied.
However, at the critical moment of the game, Ding Junhui made continuous mistakes. In the 17th round, when only the pink ball and the black ball were left on the table, Ding Junhui made a serious mistake, and when he hit the pink ball in the right bottom pocket, the pink ball did not score, but the mother ball fell into the bag. As a result, he was given six points, allowing Wilson to get the match point. In the end, Ding Junhui failed to save the match point, lost the game with a big score of 8:10, and did not qualify.
For Ding Junhui, this game actually has a great chance to win. But he still lost with a four-time lead, a 3-shot 100 and a 7-shot 50+. So in the 17th inning he scored a single 54 points, but made a mistake on the key powder ball, causing the mother ball to fall into the bag and squat weakly on the ground. This shows how unwilling he is. After all, victory was actually a step away from him. After the game, he said reluctantly: "I will not forget this defeat, I had a chance to win, but unfortunately I did not take the opportunity. ”
Although Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian, two Chinese players, were out, fortunately, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, the two seeded players, both advanced strongly, retaining the hope of winning the championship. For Zhao Xintong, perhaps in this World Championship, he really has the opportunity to realize his previous bold words. At this World Championship, he expressed his confidence in becoming the first Chinese player to win the World Snooker Championship. Previously, Chinese fans basically pinned their hopes on Ding Junhui's body, and now, Ding Junhui has once again appeared in the world championship round trip, Zhao Xintong may really become the first Chinese player to win the world championship. Come on, Zhao Xintong, come on, Yan Bingtao. Good luck to the Chinese players.
