Preamble:
As the leader of Chinese snooker, Ding Junhui's game has always attracted the attention of fans, some time ago, he also performed well in the British Championships, but unfortunately stopped in the final and won the runner-up, however, this also brought a certain improvement to his ranking, and at the Scottish Open, everyone had great expectations for his performance, but I didn't expect that in the match with Fude, Ding Junhui actually suffered a defeat and stopped in the top 32, such a result is undoubtedly a bit regrettable. Another post-00s dark horse, Liu Hongyu, also stopped in the top 32 and missed the round of 16, and he lost to Lu Haotian in the Chinese derby.
Such a result is undoubtedly regrettable, however, the snooker competition is so cruel, there is no guarantee that they will always maintain excellent condition, nor can they guarantee that they will always be able to achieve good results, which is also a good experience for Ding Junhui and Liu Hongyu, which can allow them to better understand themselves, better adjust themselves, and believe that they will have better performance in future competitions. Next, let's take a look at the specific situation of this game, as well as the performance of Ding Junhui and Liu Hongyu.
1. Ding Junhui suffered a Fude defeat
Some time ago, Ding Junhui's state was indeed very good, especially in the British Championships, all the way to the finals, although he stopped here and won the runner-up, but it also brought a great improvement to his ranking, such a ranking is undoubtedly a very good news for Ding Junhui, and it is also a recognition of his strength.
Coming to the Scottish Open, Ding Junhui's state is still very good, he won the first two rounds easily, and he also played very well, especially in the process of fighting, showing a very strong side, so everyone also has great expectations for him to have a good performance, but I didn't expect that in the match with Fude, Ding Junhui actually suffered a defeat and stopped in the top 32.
Such a result is undoubtedly a bit regrettable, however, in the whole process of the game, Ding Junhui's performance is still very stable, especially in the game with Fude, he also played a shot to break 100 and two 50+ scores, but at the critical moment, Fude was in a better state, seized some opportunities, and in the end, helped him win, while Ding Junhui went home with regret.
For such a result, Ding Junhui himself must also feel regretful, after all, the top 32 is not a satisfactory result for him, however, the snooker game is so cruel, there is no guarantee that he has always achieved good results, nor can he guarantee that he has always maintained an excellent state and suffered defeat, which is also a good experience for Ding Junhui, which can allow him to better understand himself and adjust himself better.
After all, the pressure in the game with Ding Junhui is also very high, and he can stabilize his mentality, devote himself to the game, and finally win, such confidence and courage are undoubtedly of great help to his career, I believe that through such experience, Fude will have a better performance in the future games.
Second, Liu Hongyu lost to Lu Haotian
In addition to Ding Junhui, there is also a dark horse born in the 00s who also added a lot of highlights to our game, he is Liu Hongyu, some time ago, his state is indeed very good, he once successfully advanced to the top 16, and he also won some victories in the game with Ding Junhui, it can be said that his strength has been greatly recognized.
However, in the game against Lu Haotian, Liu Hongyu's state seems to have declined a little, Lu Haotian, who has been playing steadily, seized such an opportunity, and in the end, helped him defeat Liu Hongyu 2-4, such a result is undoubtedly a pity for many people, after all, everyone still has certain expectations for Liu Hongyu's performance, hoping that he can play better.
Losing the game must be a pity for Liu Hongyu, after all, he also hopes that he can make a difference in the important games of his career and achieve some good results, however, the defeat is also a good experience for him, which can allow him to better understand himself, find his own shortcomings, make adjustments, and believe that in the future games, Liu Hongyu will definitely have a better performance.
For Lu Haotian, to be able to win in the Chinese derby, this is undoubtedly a great encouragement to his confidence, after all, such a victory is very significant to him, I believe that in the next game, Lu Haotian will be more full of fighting spirit, have a better state, and can also make a difference, achieve better results.
Epilogue:
Whether it is Ding Junhui or Liu Hongyu, such a loss is indeed a pity for them, after all, they all hope that they can make a difference in the important games of their careers and achieve good results, however, the defeat is also a process of their growth, which can allow them to better understand themselves and better adjust themselves, I believe that in the future games, they will definitely have better performances and bring us more surprises.
Of course, as fans, we also very much hope that they can have a good performance and achieve good results, no matter what kind of game they are in, we will support them throughout the whole process, and cheer for them, hoping that they can play better and better, and can also make a difference in the future games and achieve better results.
