On October 26, Beijing time, the snooker German Masters qualifier broke out of the super cold, 6 times world champion O'Sullivan faced Iran's govt Wafi, and finally lost 0-5! After 4 years, O'Sullivan was once again swept in the game. The Performance of the Chinese players was remarkable, although Ding Junhui was out, but 6 people had already entered the main competition.
In the previous qualifying round, China's snooker star Ding Junhui has been out. Now, I didn't expect the legendary superstar O'Sullivan to go home.
In the game, O'Sullivan was in a slump, and in the first set, O'Sullivan was reversed. In the second set, Iran's Govafi scored 50 points and then went down. In the third and fourth innings, O'Sullivan did not fight back, especially in the fourth inning, Waffy single-handedly blasted 141 points. In the final inning, Wafi scored 64 points and the game was over. 0-5, O'Sullivan was swept out and missed the German match.
O'Sullivan has not played in 4 years, and the last time he was swept was in 2017, when in Scotland, O'Sullivan lost 0-5 to Higgins.
In this qualifying round, there were many Chinese players participating. Those who have already passed the qualification round are Gao Yang, Zhou Yuelong, Zhao Xintong, Zhang Anda, Fan Zhengyi and Lu Haotian.
In addition, in the final round of the qualifiers, Liang Wenbo will play against Ben Hancorn, Yan Bingtao will play against Lei Peifan, and Zhao Jianbo will play against Gilbert.
Among them, Yan Bingtao will stage a Chinese derby with Lei Peifan. That is to say, there were 6 people who had previously advanced, plus there must be a Chinese player in this derby, and in the top 32 of the German competition, the Chinese players have been determined to have 7 people. If Liang Wenbo and Zhao Jianbo can also pass the pass, China will be 9 people participating in the Main German Masters.
It can be said that although Ding Junhui is not in good shape now, he has also made his own contributions on the sidelines, and with the influence he has brought to China's snooker, many young people are growing. Ding Junhui is 34 years old, and for snooker athletes, he is still very young. Unfortunately, Ding Junhui's psychological quality is unstable, and now there are families and children. On the snooker side, the power may also be insufficient.
