Fu Jiajun Lick Bingham Long Zehuang Xiao Guodong advanced to the Welsh Open Qualifying Tournament The Chinese Army performed well The 2024 Snooker Welsh Open Qualifying Tournament started the second match day in Sheffield, England, Chinese players Fu Jiajun, Long Zehuang, and Xiao Guodong successfully advanced to the main event, while Zhou Yuelong, Lu Haotian, Peng Yisong, and Li Junwei were unfortunately out.
Among them, Fu Jiajun defeated former world champion Bingham with a score of 4-1, showing his strength and style.
Fu Jiajun is the leader of Chinese snooker, and once reached the final of the 2011 World Championships, creating the history of Chinese snooker.
This season, Fu Jiajun participated in the professional competition with a wild card and needed to earn more points to keep his ranking.
In the Welsh Open qualifying round, Fu Jiajun's opponent was the 2015 world champion Bingham, and it was a matchup full of highlights.
However, Bingham's recent form has been sluggish, not only losing 3-5 to India's Singh Chada in the World Open qualifying round, but also losing 0-6 to Selby at the Masters.
Facing Fu Jiajun in this battle, Bingham still did not find his form, and made consecutive mistakes in the first three games, allowing Fu Jiajun to win easily.
Fu Jiajun scored 73 points and 93 points in the second and third games respectively, leading 3-0 to get the match point.
In the fourth game, Bingham finally scored 57 points and pulled one back.
However, Fu Jiajun didn't give him any chance, and scored 58 points in the fifth game to seal the victory with 63-0, and eliminated Bingham with a total score of 4-1 and advanced to the main event.
Fu Jiajun performed admirably, not only playing a solid attack, but also showing excellent defense, so that Bingham could not find an opportunity to attack.
Fu Jiajun's victory also added a touch of luster to Chinese snooker.
Another Chinese derby, Long Zehuang against Li Junwei.
Both are good players of the new generation and have competed in junior events.
In this qualifying round, Long Zehuang had the upper hand, he won the first and third games 66-0 and 67-0 respectively, and won the second and fourth games by a narrow margin, defeating Li Junwei with a total score of 4-1 and entering the main draw.
The game between the two did not play at a very high level, and there was no 50+ shot, but Long Zehuang's victory also reflected his stability and psychological quality.
Xiao Guodong is a veteran of Chinese snooker, who won the 2017 World Open and is China's second ranking champion.
In this qualifying round, Xiao Guodong's opponent is British player Ashley Hugill, which is a close match.
In the game, both sides each scored a shot of 50+ and a shot to break 100, and fought to the tiebreaker.
In the deciding game, Xiao Guodong seized the opponent's mistake and won 66-0, narrowly defeating the opponent with a total score of 4-3 and advancing to the main game.
Xiao Guodong's victory also showed his experience and calmness, he did not give up at the critical moment, and finally won the victory.
Among the Chinese players, the only regret is Lu Haotian.
Lu Haotian is a rising star of Chinese snooker, having reached the semifinals at the 2019 World Open, and is China's third semi-finalist in the world rankings.
In this qualifying round, Lu Haotian's opponent is British player Jordan Brown, and this is a game that seems to be a win.
Lu Haotian scored 77 points and 72 points in the first three games, establishing a 3-0 advantage, and was only one game away from advancing.
However, Lu Haotian lost his form in the next four games, and made consecutive mistakes, allowing Jordan Brown to gradually regain his confidence, and finally completed a shocking 4-3 reversal and eliminated Lu Haotian from the game.
Lu Haotian's defeat is a pity, he could have had a chance to achieve better results, but he didn't grasp the opportunity when he was ahead, but let the opponent turn the tables, which is also where he needs to reflect and improve.
In addition to the Chinese players, there were some other highlights of this qualifying tournament.
Among them, the most shocking was the performance of Robbie Williams.
Robbie Williams is a British veteran, having finished runner-up at the 2008 World Championships.
In this qualifying match, Robbie Williams' opponent is Chinese player Peng Yisong, which is a game with a huge disparity in strength.
Robbie Williams led 3-0 in the first three games, and in the fourth game, he scored an astonishing 146 points in a single stroke, setting a new record for the highest single stroke in this competition, and also set his own career record for the highest single stroke score, sweeping Peng Yisong 4-0 and advancing to the main event.
Robbie Williams's single-stroke score of 146 is also the eleventh-highest single-stroke score in snooker history, second only to a perfect score of 147 and a super perfect score of 148.
Robbie Williams' performance was breathtaking, not only showing his attacking ability, but also proving that his form is still unbeatable, which is also a highlight of this qualifying tournament.
The Heat are a strong player in the United Kingdom, who reached the semifinals at the 2018 World Championships, and is a player with strong offensive and defensive ability.
In this qualifying match, the opponent of the Heat is Chinese player Zhou Yuelong, which is a matchup of equal strength.
Zhou Yuelong is one of China's top players, having won the 2016 World Open runner-up and is China's second runner-up in a ranking tournament.
In the game, neither side played at a high level, and there was no 50+ shot, but the Heat swept Zhou Yuelong with a score of 4-0 and advanced to the main match.
Zhou Yuelong's loss was a surprise, he had good strength, but he didn't play in the game, but let the Heat win easily, which is also where he needs to adjust and improve.
In addition to the Chinese players and the Heat, there are a few other highlights of this qualifying tournament.
Among them, the most surprising was the performance of India's Singh Chada.
Singh Chada is an Indian rookie who reached the round of 16 at the 2019 World Open and is a promising star of Indian snooker.
In this qualifying match, Singh Chada's opponent is Thailand's star Sangkham, and this is a match of comparable strength.
In the game, both sides played a shot to break 100 and a shot to 50+, and fought to the tiebreaker.
In the deciding game, Singh Chada seized Sankham's mistake and won 69-0, narrowly defeating his opponent with an overall score of 4-3 and advancing to the main match.
Singh Chada's victory also added a touch of luster to Indian snooker, he not only showed his offensive ability, but also proved his psychological quality, he was not afraid at the critical moment, and finally won the victory.
The final match of the qualifying tournament is for Britain's Gilbert to take on Egypt's Doherty.
It was a disparity of strength, and Gilbert, ranked 10th in the world, was a player with strong offensive and defensive qualities after reaching the semi-finals at the 2019 World Championships.
Doherty, on the other hand, is Egypt's only professional player, ranked 113th, and is an average player.
In the game, Gilbert completely took the initiative, he hit two shots to break 100 and one shot of 50+ in the first three games to lead 3-0, and in the fourth game, he hit another shot of 50+ to sweep Doherty 4-0 and advance to the main draw.
Gilbert's performance was impressive, not only showing his attacking prowess, but also proving that he was still in hot form, and he didn't give his opponent any chance in the match, and won with a crushing attitude.
This qualifying competition shows us the charm and competition of snooker.
Some players advanced to the main draw with a strong performance, while others went out with disappointing results.
The race will take place in Newport, Wales from February 12th to 18th, and there will be more excitement and excitement waiting for us.
Let's look forward to it together!Wales missed the main event!Lu Haotian was killed!Li Junwei is out!Williams brushes the highest score on the second match day of the 2024 Snooker Welsh Open Qualifying Tournament, 7 Chinese players played, achieving a record of 3 wins and 4 losses, among which Xiao Guodong, Long Zehuang, Fu Jiajun successfully advanced to the main event, Li Junwei, Peng Yisong, Zhou Yuelong, and Lu Haotian were tragically defeated in a round and missed the main event.
This is a major setback for the Chinese army this season, and it is also a wake-up call for Chinese snooker.
Fu Jiajun ended the slump, Xiao Guodong reversed and advanced to the thrilling Hong Kong, China, and Fu Jiajun has been in poor form this season, failing to pass the qualifying round in the first two ranking tournaments.
This time he met the world champion Bingham, and he was not superior in strength.
However, Fu Jiajun played well in the game, scoring 73, 93, and 58 points in a single stroke in the qualifying round, and it took only one hour to defeat Bingham 4-1 and advance to the main match.
Bingham's headstrong move to concede defeat with 59 points down in the final game and 75 points left on the table should be controversial.
Fu Jiajun's victory was a shot in the arm for the Chinese army and added a point to his confidence.
Xiao Guodong had a thrilling match against Ashley Hugill, a young player with strong attacking ability.
Xiao Guodong won with a single shot of 56 in the game, Ashley Hughill scored 118 points to break 100 consecutive attacks, and took the lead in grabbing the match point, Xiao Guodong stubbornly dragged the game to the decisive game, Xiao Guodong seized the opportunity, and finally succeeded in counterattacking and advanced to the main match.
Xiao Guodong's performance reflects his stability and psychological quality, and also retains a place for the Chinese army.
Zhou Yuelong was in a slump, and Lu Haotian suffered a big reversal, while Chinese star Zhou Yuelong was in a slump, losing 0-4 to Adam Duffy.
In the second game of the game, Zhou Yuelong pounded the table to vent after making a mistake, and then swung a white ball to admit defeat and was warned by the referee, and got up directly to admit defeat when he fell behind in the fourth game.
Zhou Yuelong's performance made people see his immaturity and emotionality, and also made people doubt his fighting spirit and confidence.
Zhou Yuelong is a leader in Chinese snooker, has won the British Championship, and is also the leader of the Chinese army.
His state has directly affected the overall level of Chinese snooker.
I hope that Zhou Yuelong can adjust his mentality as soon as possible, regain his confidence, and reshow his strength.
Another Chinese star, Lu Haotian, suffered a big reversal.
Lu Haotian came up in a hot state, scoring 77 and 72 points in a row, leading 3-0, but then he was chased by 2021 champion Jordan Brown for 4 games in a row, and finally reversed 3-4! Lu Haotian's loss makes people feel sorry and regretful.
Lu Haotian is a rising star of Chinese snooker, who once won the runner-up at the Indian Open and is also the hope star of the Chinese army.
His performance showcased his attacking ability and talent, but it also exposed his defensive vulnerabilities and psychological vulnerability.
I hope that Lu Haotian can learn from his failures, improve his comprehensiveness and stability, and meet more challenges.
Long Zehuang advanced to the main event, Peng Yisong suffered a bloody wash in the other three games, Long Zehuang defeated Hong Kong's Lee Junwei 4-1.
Long Zehuang is a rookie in Chinese snooker, who has won the championship at the Junior World Championships and is also the future star of the Chinese army.
His performance reflects his potential and progress, and also adds vitality to the Chinese Army.
Li Junwei is a leading snooker in Hong Kong, China, who has reached the quarterfinals at the World Open and is also a promising star of snooker in Hong Kong, China.
His defeat has made people see his shortcomings and predicaments, and also made people worry about his future.
Peng Yisong lost 0-4 to Robbie Williams.
Peng Yisong is a post-00 player in Chinese snooker, who once won the runner-up in the Youth World Championships, and is also a new generation of the Chinese Army.
His performance makes people see his immaturity and lack of experience, and also makes people look forward to his growth and progress.
Robbie Williams is a veteran of British snooker, who has won the championship in the World Championship and is also a legend of snooker.
His victory made people see his strength and style, and also made people admire his persistence and love.
Williams set a record, and the Welsh Open is a great thing to note, Robbie Williams hit a perfect score of 147 in the tournament, which was his fifth career 147 and eighth 147 this season, setting a new record.
Robbie Williams' performance made people see his skill and level, but also made people marvel at his talent and charisma.
