When the war drum of the World Snooker Championship Qualifying Tournament sounded in the distance, every player stood on the cusp, especially those players from China, who not only represented personal glory, but also carried the expectations and dreams of countless fans. In this event, Li Junwei, Xing Zihao, Zhang Jiawei, and Bai Yulu have attracted much attention, and every stroke and game they have drawn may become the focus of tomorrow's headlines.
In this high-level event, Jimmy White easily advanced to the second round with the retirement of his opponent Martin Gould as if it were a silent victory. In addition, the £500,000 prize money is undoubtedly the biggest temptation for all players, and every golfer dreams of winning it in one fell swoop and standing on that enviable podium.
The brutality of qualifying lies in the best-of-19 format, where every ball counts, and the slightest mistake can mean the way home. Just like Bai Yulu, the champion of this year's Women's World Championships, her strength has been recognized by everyone, and her every step seems to be moving forward steadily. And Zhang Jiawei's victory in the World Taiwan League also made him show extraordinary strength and became a dark horse in the eyes of many audiences.
However, Lee's situation seems to be a little different, and the pressure on the game is particularly heavy for the experienced one. Every time he is relegated, it seems to remind him that there must be no slackness in every game.
The schedule of the competition is divided into two periods, and the performance of the Chinese players in the first period is particularly eye-catching. Not only did they show their technical prowess, but they also faced every opponent with a steady mentality. And in the tight second half, everyone was expecting them to continue to perform like this.
Of course, the appearance of world billiards star Sean O'Sullivan has undoubtedly become the focus of the audience. Every time he made a shot, he could cause a scream from the audience. But in such an environment, whether our Chinese players can stay calm and move forward has become a hot topic for countless fans.
The discussion on the Internet continued to heat up, and many fans left messages expressing their support and expectations for the Chinese players: "In this year's World Championships, Chinese players must make a difference!" "Bai Yulu and Zhang Jiawei's performance is really amazing, I look forward to them going further!" Every word of the fans is like giving the players the strongest support.
And the excitement of the competition process is even more dizzying. From the 17:00 Lee Junwei vs. Andrew Padgett to the 21:30 Sean O'Sullivan vs. Revis, every match is full of uncertainty and suspense. Whether it's a technical contest or a psychological confrontation, every player is trying their best to show their best side.
In the end, the performance of Chinese players in this qualifying tournament undoubtedly proved their strength and love for snooker. They have not only won honor for themselves, but also won the respect of the world for Chinese snooker.
