Ding Junhui, the flag bearer of Chinese snooker, faced a difficult choice in the 2024 World Snooker Championship qualifiers. Under the global gaze, he and Zhang Anda, two Chinese players, were exposed to the so-called "death half", and every step seemed to be walking on the tip of a knife.
The 37-year-old Ding Junhui, although he has won both the British Championships and the Masters, but when the final barrier - the World Championship championship - is still hanging in the air, people can't help but ask: Can you fulfill the dream of a Grand Slam? Let's take a closer look at the bumpy road.
Looking at the seeding list for this World Championship, we can clearly see the fierce competition. The lower half can be called the camp of stars, including strong opponents who are in high digital form. Such a configuration undoubtedly set up many difficulties for Ding Junhui, and the road to victory seemed more tortuous.
If the first round of the game is a test, then Ding Junhui will most likely encounter the dark horse that has restricted his performance in the past - O'Sullivan. For this fierce opponent, the past record is not optimistic, and he is known as "Ding Junhui's veritable 'nemesis' in his career". The contest with O'Sullivan may be the node of the World Championships on the fate of Ding Junhui.
Beyond O'Sullivan, hope is close at hand, but then explore the reflection. is also an old enemy, 13 years ago it was Trump Hui who forced Ding Junhui to stand out, and today, will history repeat itself? This is another mountain that Ding Junhui wants to cross.
Looking back at the draw and forecasting the situation, all signs suggest that the veteran may have to endure another frustration. Even if his performance has recovered slightly this year, how can he win in the face of strong opponents? How can he guarantee that the memory of defeat in the final of the ranking tournament is always difficult to let go, after all, it is a huge wall between him and glory.
There are other Chinese players to look forward to, with Si Jiahui breaking into the semi-finals last year, and despite starting from the qualifying round, the possibility of success should not be underestimated. However, we still focus on liking the new and hating the old, looking forward to the day when the tradition will continue and the thunder will come back.
