On April 12, 2024, Beijing time, the World Snooker Championship Qualifying Tournament is in full swing. The World Championships, that is the pinnacle of the snooker world, the championship prize money is as high as 500,000 pounds! When I think of this attractive prize, I can't help but get excited, these players must also be gearing up, eager to try!
Speaking of this qualifying round, it was really cruel! To enter the main competition, the players had to go through several rounds of fierce competition, and every game was a battle of life and death. However, this is also the charm of snooker competition, isn't it? Everyone is working hard for the same goal, and this spirit is really touching!
In history, only two non-British Isles players have won the World Snooker Championship, and they are Neil Robertson and Brecel. Whenever I think of their former glory, I feel immense admiration. Their success is not only an affirmation of themselves, but also a contribution to snooker.
In this World Championships, our Chinese army also attacked with the whole army, showing good strength. Speaking of the Chinese Army, I have to mention the two seeded players, Ding Junhui and Zhang Anda. Historically, the best record of Chinese players in the World Championships is Ding Junhui's runner-up, which is really the pride of our Chinese snooker. When I think about this achievement, I feel extremely proud.
In the last World Championships, Chinese teenager Si Jiahui also passed all the way and reached the semifinals. Although he lost in the end, his performance was really eye-catching. I believe that in the future, he will definitely work harder and strive for more honors for us Chinese snooker.
One of the most eye-catching matchups in the qualifying rounds for this year's World Championships was the battle between Hong Kong's Fu Ka Chun and veteran Ken Doherty. Speaking of Fu Jiajun, I am a big fan of him, his skills are superb, his mentality is stable, and he is always able to withstand the pressure at critical moments and play his level. But in recent years, his form has declined due to eye diseases. As a fan of his, I'm really worried about him. But will he be able to regain his former form and confidence in this crucial matchup?
Ken Doherty, a veteran, has had a brilliant career. 6 ranking tournament titles, including the World Championships, are enough to make him the best in the snooker world. But the years are not forgiving, can his current strength be compared with that year? In this game, can he withstand the impact of Fu Jiajun and defend his honor? This game is really exciting!
It was really thrilling and it made my blood boil. In the first game, Ken Doherty got off to a good start with his excellent performance, which undoubtedly brought huge pressure to Fu Jiajun. I thought, "Oh, what can Fu do now?" However, Fu was not crushed by the pressure, and gradually regained his form in the following games, and started a fierce confrontation with Ken Doherty. The tense and exciting atmosphere is simply suffocating!
Watching their performances on the field, I couldn't help but think of the charm of snooker. It is not only a contest of skill and wisdom, but also a contest of spirit. Fu Jiajun and Ken Doherty both used their practical actions to interpret the true meaning of snooker, which is really admirable.
In the end, I would like to say that this game is not just an ordinary qualifying matchup, it is more like a feast of the snooker spirit. In this game, we saw the contest and collision of two generations of snookers, and also saw the future and hope of snooker. At the same time, the performance of the Chinese army in this World Championship also let us see the rise of Chinese snooker, and I believe that they will create more brilliance in the future!
