Ding Junhui drew his nemesis, Yan Bingtao derby.
The matches of Chinese players in the 2022 British Championship Qualifying Tournament have all ended, with 5 Ding Junhui, Zhou Yuelong, Lu Haotian, Xu Si and Xiao Guodong entering the main competition through the qualifiers, plus Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong ranked in the top 16, a total of 7 people played. In the first round, Ding Junhui met his nemesis Master Huo again, and Yan Bingtao encountered a civil war in the first round.
Zhao Xintong is the defending champion of this British Championship, and the strongest players in the top half are Trump and Selby, which can be said to be a good signing. The first round will be against Sam Craigie and there is a good chance of winning.
Ding Junhui drew Hawkins, and although he successfully avoided the 75 and 80 Big Three, it was not a good signing. Hawkins was once known as Ding Junhui's nemesis for defeating Ding Junhui three times in a row.
Xu Si and Lu Haotian and Zhou Yuelong signed good luck, because they did not meet top players such as Rockets, Xiao Te, Neil Robertson, Selby, and Higgins.
Xiao Guodong was unlucky, and against Trump, he was less fierce.
Yan Bingtao and Zhou Yuelong derby ensure one person to reach the round of 16. I am optimistic about Zhou Yuelong's promotion.
The specific matches are as follows:
Upper Zone:
Zhao Xintong vs Sam Craigie
