On the evening of December 19, Beijing time, the 2024 Snooker German Masters Qualifying Tournament continued, and in the first time period of this match day, the latest report has ended two games: Sean O'Sullivan (hereinafter referred to as O'Sullivan) lost 2-5, while Ding Junhui was a 2-5 upset defeat and was in a sluggish state.
O'Sullivan's strength is relatively average, and his world ranking is not high, and his opponent is Sam Craigie. In the first game, O'Sullivan scored 50 points in a single stroke and won 97-43. In the second game, Craigie quickly scored 66 points in a single stroke and chased it to 1-1. In the third and fourth games, Craigie won two games in a row, 56-8 and 80-8, 3-1. In the fifth game, Craigie scored 96 points in a single stroke to complete the one-shot victory and won the match point 4-1. In the sixth game, O'Sullivan scored 56 points with a single stroke to get back a game and saved a match point to chase 2-4. In the seventh game, Craigie didn't give any chance, and directly scored 109 points with a single stroke to complete a one-shot victory, defeating O'Sullivan 5-2.
In another game, Ding Junhui lost a little incomprehensible, his opponent in the qualifying round was Yuan Sijun, who is a Chinese post-00 player, and Ding Junhui is China's first brother, TOP16 player, ranked 11th in the world, and the 3-time champion of the British Championships. It is worth mentioning that in this season's Wuhan Open, Ding Junhui lost 0-5 to Yuan Sijun, and now Ding Junhui lost again, and his state is really not ideal.
