I have long stopped playing to make a living! Ding Junhui was bitterly criticized by the seven champions, and it is difficult to return to the peak of his career

When it comes to the Chinese players who have performed the best in the 2022 snooker season, I believe that most fans will think of Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, and Fan Zhengyi, the three new generation young players (Zhao Xintong's British Championship, German Masters champion, Fan Zhengyi European Masters champion, Yan Bingtao is the domestic young player who has reached the top four and eight this season).

In the case of the declining state of "China's first brother" Ding Junhui, the strong rise of the three of them this season has undoubtedly allowed the Chinese snooker Legion to avoid the embarrassing situation of zero crowns in the season, and the pressure on Ding Junhui's shoulders as a big brother has also been alleviated a lot.

In the absence of the previous tournaments this season, Ding Junhui handed over a report card of one quarter-final, one quarter-final and one-shot 32-shot over 100, which although this result is not comparable to his previous brilliant achievements, has improved a lot compared with the past two seasons.

Many fans will be very confused, is the demand for the Chinese snooker leader is already so low, but frankly speaking, according to Ding Junhui's frequent participation in variety shows and busy business activities, it is not easy for Ding Junhui to achieve this result this season.

Remember that last season Ding Junhui in China can be described as "mixed up", not only endorsement ads continue to be invited to participate in various variety shows, busy with commercial activities and neglect of training is also an important reason why Ding Junhui helplessly fell out of the world's top sixteen this season.

At the beginning of the season, Ding Junhui missed the first few events of the season because he did not return to the United Kingdom in time, which also led to the inability to obtain more bonus points The ranking fell again and again, not only missed several large events with thresholds, but also almost fell out of the world thirty-two.

After returning to the United Kingdom, Ding Junhui finally spoke out in the face of constant doubts and accusations from the outside world, and Ding Junhui during that time did begin serious training, although the state was still not as good as before, but it was already visible to the naked eye.

Fans who pay attention to the game should be very clear that Ding Junhui's playing style has obviously changed in the second half of the season, not only the pace is faster than ever, but also the mentality is more confident, and the single-shot win and over-100 performance have been greatly improved, which is enough to prove that as long as the hard training is not interfered with by commercial activities, it will always be rewarded.

As a good friend of Ding Junhui, O'Sullivan, the seven-time champion of the World Championships, is also very aware of his current problems, and in a recent interview, O'Sullivan also directly criticized: Ding (Junhui) is now too much like a businessman, his focus may have long been out of the field, if he can put aside those business endorsements, there may be hope to get back to the state when he was at his peak, but he does not need to rely on playing to make a living now.

Frankly speaking, others can find the problem, Ding Junhui himself must know but whether we can make changes we can't intervene, in fact, we as fans are not unable to accept Ding Junhui's loss, but we can't accept a player standing on the field without fighting spirit and squandering his career.
