The Chinese snooker army has a record of three wins and two losses
In the second round of the World Championships Qualifying Tournament, five members of the Chinese Army played in the fifth day of the Qualifying Tournament. Fu Jiajun, the first brother of Hong Kong, China, reversed the legendary Doherty 10-6 with a single stroke of 136 points, 97 points, 97 points, 61 points, 71 points, 61 points and four consecutive games to advance with a single stroke.
In other games, Chinese teenager Jiang Jun narrowly defeated Fan Zhengyi 10-8 with a single stroke of 102 points, 93 points, 85 points, 69 points, 57 points, 53 points and four consecutive games in a difficult situation of 1-5 and 2-6 behind.
Long Zehuang was in a sluggish state and lost 2-10 to the veteran Hicks and failed to complete the promotion. Ma Hailong, on the other hand, defeated Martin O'Donnell 10-7 with a single-stroke performance of 70 points, 61 points, 53 points, 86 points, and 63 points, and successfully completed the promotion.
Dort and Aaron Hill refused to pull off an upset to complete the cut
In the match between former world champion Dort and Dorham, I thought that Dorham would be able to put some pressure on Dort, but I didn't expect the match to turn one-sided. As soon as the game started, Dort started the game 3-1 with two consecutive wins.
Although Dorham responded with a 3-1 score in the next four games, Dort won six of the next seven games. After 15 rounds of competition, Dort defeated Dorham 10-5 with a single shot of 62 points, 77 points, 55 points, 125 points and 104 points.
In the match between Aaron Hill and Westley, Aaron Hill was completely in control of the game. In the first six games between the two sides, Alan Hill took a 4-2 lead with a single stroke of 63 points, 72 points, and 61 points.
Although Westley then pulled one game back, Alan Hill then won six games in a row with 50, 70, 57, 79 points and the ability to grasp the opportunity well, and finally defeated Westley 10-3 to successfully complete the promotion.
Brown and Leclerk advanced to the third round of qualifying
In the match between Oliver Brown and Emory, both players were in average form. In the first four games between the two sides, Emory won four consecutive games to take a 4-0 lead with 62 points in a single stroke, 60 points and excellent ability to seize opportunities.
But then, Brown won seven games in a row to overtake Emory 7-4. Although Emory won four of the next six games and trailed Brown 8-9 at one point. But it is a pity that Brown then scored 81 points in a single stroke and directly defeated Emory with a score of 10-8.
In the match between Leclerk and Haydn Pinghai, the two players were in very poor form. The two men had seven 50+ performances in 13 rounds, but only two 60+ performances.
It is worth mentioning that Leclerk, who only scored three shots of 50+, easily defeated Haydn Pinghai, who scored four shots of 50+, 10-3. And this is also the least spectacular game of the day.
