Original title: Welsh Open: Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan break through all kinds of difficulties and find inner suffering
In the second round of the 2020 World Snooker Welsh Open, which ended last night Beijing time, China's brother Ding Junhui easily defeated Wharton 4-1 to advance. In the early hours of this morning's game, "Rocket" O'Sullivan beat Carrington to advance, but it is worth mentioning that Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan failed to complete the 100 in the game. Ding Junhui made a mistake when hitting a difficult red ball, while O'Sullivan made a mistake when hitting a green ball. Although both players managed to qualify in the match, they did not see the winning smile on their faces.
I think the main reason why the two players don't have a winning smile is because of the special times and the dissatisfaction with their form. The news that the World Taiwan Federation announced that it would donate 1,000 pounds per shot has long been out, but Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan, two players who used to break more than 100, were muted in these two rounds. At the same time, there is also Robertson, the player. Judging from the first two rounds, the best in-form player is Trump. So I think Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan have also been fighting with themselves in their hearts.
Ding Junhui faced Donaldson three consecutive first-round matches before the start of the Welsh Open, all of which were knocked out by his opponents. His confidence was very frustrated by such a match, so this tournament was especially important for him. Although the state of this tournament is okay, the performance of not breaking 100 also makes Ding Junhui's mood not better. Caring for the compatriots of the motherland will inevitably lead to some self-blame in their hearts. I hope that Ding Junhui can break the curse early in the next game and break the hundred, so that his confidence and courage can return to normal level as soon as possible.
Some of the same mood is also "Rocket" O'Sullivan, his recent Weibo dynamics are also all related to the epidemic, his mood is also a little heavy, so since the beginning of the Welsh game, he wants to play a hundred performances to cheer for everyone. But after two rounds, he still hasn't scored a hundred hits, and although he won, his mood is really bad. I hope O'Sullivan can get out of the difficult situation early, give a wonderful performance, and play his 100 breaking 100 at this Welsh Open as soon as possible.
