Ding Junhui has suffered two fiascos in a row! The invitational tournament has not been able to work hard, and he has been fighting against O'Sullivan one after another to attract gold
A few days ago, the Macau Snooker Masters Invitational Tournament was in full swing, as an off-season invitational tournament, including O'Sullivan, Trump, Ding Junhui, Williams, Kyren Wilson, Lisowski, Fu Jiajun, Si Jiahui and other 8 celebrities were invited to participate in the competition, competing for a prize of up to 150,000 pounds. And Ding Junhui, as the local popular king, and O'Sullivan, the popular king of world snooker, are naturally a strong duel that fans and audiences pay more attention to.
In the final of the British Championships that ended not long ago, Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan staged the 32nd "Ding Olympics" showdown, and in the end, Ding Junhui failed to continue his victory, and once again won 7-10, ranking second in two consecutive British Championships. And the final matchup between Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan in the British Championship has once again become the focus of attention, not only in the UK, but also in China, where countless fans are flocking to it. The "Ding Olympics" has also become an event that many event organizers and brands want to create and reproduce.
Therefore, in the rare off-season of Christmas, Chinese financiers spent a lot of money to invite a number of active snooker stars to come to China and play various exhibition matches and invitational matches. In Macau, two invitational tournaments were held successively. In addition, during the New Year's Day, Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan moved to Lhasa, Tibet, to start a plateau snooker showdown. In the face of the all-inclusive treatment of eating, drinking, and Lazar, superstars including O'Sullivan, Higgins, Williams, Selby, Trump and other superstars also traveled thousands of miles to China to start the gold making mode.
Ding Junhui, as the No. 1 local superstar, naturally receives higher treatment. Before the start of the Macau Snooker Masters Invitational Tournament, the organizers also specially arranged an exhibition match between Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan, and finally in the 33rd "Ding Olympics", the two fought fiercely for eight games, and Ding Junhui lost 2-6 and lost again. In the first round of the invitational tournament, Ding Junhui faced his old opponent Trump, lost six games in a row after taking one game first, and finally lost 1-6 and unfortunately stopped. In two consecutive matchups, Ding Junhui failed by a big score, which somewhat gave people the illusion that he couldn't work.
After the end of the trip to Macau, Ding Junhui will rush to Lhasa with O'Sullivan to start a plateau snooker showdown. At that time, Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan will once again start the 34th "Ding Olympics", although it is still an exhibition game, but for fans, it is another visual feast, as for whether Ding Junhui can "revenge", I'm afraid it's another story, anyway, the appearance fee has been paid.
