On December 2, Beijing time, the 1/4 finals of the 2023 Snooker British Championship continued, and the 18-year-old British Championship triple crown champion Ding Junhui led Zhang Anda and Zhou Yuelong to advance to the quarterfinals.
The Rockets 6-5 Zhou Yuelong, two consecutive rounds were 6-5 narrowly won to advance, in the face of the menacing Trump, still stick to the world's No. 1 position! Trump 6-1 Pang Junxu in the first round, 6-0 Jamie Jones in the 1/8 finals, truly fulfilled his bold words: "I feel that when I play at my best, no one can come close to me." I think I've regained that confidence." This is the current Trump, words and deeds are equally strong, which perfectly interprets what it means to be a unity of words and deeds! Unlike O'Sullivan, he seems to be light and light, feeling that everything is a gift: "When I am 35 years old, I think my career may be over..."! However, O'Sullivan on the court is still obsessed with winning and losing, after all, he is the first person in the history of 7 Grand Slams! In this matchup, Zhou Yuelong was beaten with a wave of four consecutive whips under a 4-1 lead, during which there were many simple mistakes, such as losing the bottom bag pink ball, and burying his head on the table!
According to the latest bonus points, the Rockets reached the semifinals to lock in a bonus of 50,000 pounds, and the gap with Trump widened to 46,500, if Trump lost to Selby in the quarterfinals, then the Rockets will remain the world's No. 1;
As for the world No. 3 Luca Blaisser and the world No. 4 Mark Allen, who have been out of the game, they are still likely to be surpassed by the world's No. 5 Selby, and the only way to win the championship is Huashan!
World No. 6 Neil Robertson and world No. 7 Murphy are less than 36,000 bonus points ahead of world No. 8 Mark Williams in one round, and Uncle Ma can surpass them by reaching the final!
World No. 9 Kyren Wilson in the first round and World No. 10 John Higgins, who stopped in the second round, and World No. 11 Ali Carter are ahead of Zhang Anda by at least 55,000 bonus points, and now Zhang Anda lost 4-6 to Wafei and stopped in the quarterfinals, and he still has the possibility of being surpassed!
World No. 13 Milkins, World No. 14 Barry Hawkins, and World No. 15 Lisowski remain unchanged.
Wafei 6-4 Zhang Anda, advanced to the semifinals, bonus points accumulated to 276000 + 25000 = 301000, points surpassed Ding Junhui 1000, only 6000 away from 15th Lisowski, only 14000 away from 13th Milkins, there is still further possibility, but in the semifinals Wafei vs. Rockets, did the grievances and hatreds between the two laugh at it? In terms of pure competitive state, Wafei is very strong, in the last round, he played three single-stroke breaks, two of which were 130+ single-strokes, and this time he hit three single-stroke hits to break 100!
Ding Junhui, who has dropped to 17th in the world, only defeated Mark Williams in the quarterfinals, so the points accumulate to 325,000, and will rise four places to 13th. In this way, no matter where Wafei goes, Ding Junhui's qualification for the Masters is stable! Because another chaser, Zhou Yuelong, is also out!
Zhou Yuelong is the lowest-ranked player in the world in the quarterfinals, and breaking the winless spell against Neil Robertson is already a good start, as for the Rockets, let's leave it for the next time! Since the start of the British Championships, his world ranking has jumped four places to 22nd in the world, the fastest rise in the top 32.
