In the early morning of December 19, Beijing time, the 2023 Snooker German Masters officially started. In a Chinese derby in the qualifying round, Lu Haotian hit one shot to break 100 and three shots of 50+ in the first four rounds, and got 4 match points 4-0. But Si Jiahui was not discouraged, he reversed 5 games in a row, and staged a big reversal 5-4.
As the 2023 Snooker Scottish Open comes to an end, the German Masters is seamless. In this competition, Ding Junhui, the "first brother of China", led the Chinese snooker army, including Si Jiahui, who was in the top 4 of this year's World Championships, and Lu Haotian, who was ranked 34th in the world.
Si Jiahui had an extremely hot performance in this year's World Championships, defeating many famous players to reach the semifinals of the World Championships, but his performance this season was average, and he did not have very good and bright results.
And Lu Haotian has a good performance this season, not long ago in the 2023 Snooker Wuhan Open, he easily defeated the seven-time World Championship champion and world No. 1 "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan with a score of 5-1, showing a very good competitive state.
In the just-concluded Scottish Open, Lu Haotian joined hands with 21 Chinese snooker legions including "China's first brother" Ding Junhui. In the qualifying round, Lu Haotian defeated his opponent with a total score of 4-2 in the match with the famous Joe Perry to advance.
In the first round of the main event, Lu Haotian faced "Little Pig" Jackson Page, in this battle, Lu Haotian was in hot condition, he hit 5 shots of 50+, swept Jackson 4-0 in four straight games, and advanced to the main match strongly, with the scores of 88-0, 69-28, 91-30, 77-0 in four games.
In the end, Lu Haotian reached the round of 16 of the Scottish Open, and in the match with the 4-time world champion "Wizard" John Higgins, 2-4 missed the quarterfinals, with a good performance in the Scottish Open, Lu Haotian and Si Jiahui met in the German Masters qualifying round, and won four match points at 4-0 This suddenly lost the crosshairs, and was reversed by Si Jiahui 4-5, which is a pity.
