In the qualifying round of the Snooker British Championship, Ding Junhui faced Robert Milkins, and finally came a good news, Ding Junhui defeated Milkins 6-4 and successfully reached the main event. But it must be said that this game was heart-wrenching, and Ding Junhui won very hard.
As one of the three major tournaments, the British Championship is also an important ranking competition, Ding Junhui has won more than once in this event, and coincidentally, Ding Junhui's last ranking tournament championship happened to be the British Championship, or in 2019, after that until now, Ding Junhui has been in the championship drought for a long time, which is really emotional! So much so that now, Ding Junhui, who has fallen out of the top 16, needs to start from the qualifying round, and in the third round he easily defeated the "Thai Ball King" Tachaiya and entered the decisive round.
"Mi Old Man" Milkins is 46 years old, his strength is not too strong, and the two have played each other 7 times before, and Ding Junhui is also 5-2 with a clear advantage. For Ding Junhui, the hope of qualifying for the main competition is still very large.
In the first half, Ding Junhui was in good shape overall, leading 3-1! In the fifth game, Milkins won smoothly, and in the sixth and seventh games, Ding Junhui won consecutive games and won the match point 5-2. In the eighth inning, Milkins hit a one-shot 86. In the ninth game, Milkins won, and in the tenth game, Ding Junhui finally won, advancing 6-4.
In this way, after a heart-wrenching 6-4, the Chinese snooker 6 have locked the main match of the British Championship: in addition to Ding Junhui, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, Xu Si, Lu Haotian and Zhou Yuelong have also locked the main match (Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao are TOP16 players and do not need to play qualifiers)
