On April 11, Beijing time, the 2024 World Snooker Championship ended on the third day of the qualifying round, Chinese players Gao Yang and Peng Yisong successfully advanced, and another rising star, Gong Chenzhi, was unfortunately eliminated, he was eliminated by the 52-year-old veteran Rod Lawler. Gao Yang played in the World Championships qualifying tournament as an amateur player, and the first round of the game shone brightly, scoring 135 points in a single stroke, which is quite strong.
On the third day of the qualifying round, a number of Chinese players appeared, and amateur player Gao Yang eliminated Ishpreit Singh Chada 10-6 with one shot of 100 and five strokes of 50+, and advanced to the second round. Peng Yisong hit a shot to break 100 and four strokes of 50+, eliminated Manasavin Pemalek 10-5, and also advanced to the second round. It's a pity that Gong Chenzhi regretted stopping, facing the 52-year-old Rod Lawler, the number one demon on the tour, Gong Chenzhi lost four games in a row after 7-6 and was out of the game 7-10, which was a bit heartbreaking.
A total of 11 Chinese players played in the first round of the qualifying round, and in the end, 7 of them successfully broke through, namely Fu Jiajun, Jiang Jun, Ma Hailong, Long Zehuang, Xing Zihao, Peng Yisong and Gao Yang. In addition, as many as seven of the 17 amateur players who have received wild cards have advanced to the second round, including Gao Yang, as well as veteran Peter Lines and rising star Liam Davis.
After the first round of the competition, the second round of competition was held on the third match day, with Chinese players Liu Hongyu, Guoqiang and Xing Zihao taking the lead. Liu Hongyu performed strongly, scoring 74, 60 and 135 points in a single stroke, temporarily leading the legendary star Confidential White 7-2. Xing Zihao scored 140 points in a single stroke, but he lost five games in a row with a 3-1 lead, temporarily trailing Daniel Wells 3-6. Guoqiang fell behind Ross Muir 4-5, and he, like Xing Zihao, had to work harder.
On the next fourth match day, Xing Zihao, Liu Hongyu, and Guoqiang will all finish the second phase of the game and strive to advance to the seat. In addition, there are many matches worth paying attention to, such as James Cahill vs Burchu Revis, Jamie Clark vs Andres Petrov, Ashley Hugill vs Adam Duffy, Michael White vs Andrew Higginson, Oliver Lines vs Louis Heathcott, Liam Highfield vs Stuart Carrington, Anthony Hamilton vs Alexander Ulsenbach, Lucas Clex vs Alan Taylor.
