The performance of the Chinese corps was mixed
In this qualifying round, the performance of the Chinese army can be described as mixed. Among the four Chinese players who played the next day, only Lu Haotian successfully broke through, and the other three players unfortunately lost.
Yuan Sijun showed good strength in the match with Maguire, and scored a good score of 50+ in four strokes. However, against the experienced Maguire, he was ultimately defeated by a score of 6-10. Maguire's strong performance of breaking 100 and 2 strokes of 50 plus made Yuan Sijun's efforts come to naught.
Zhou Yuelong led 4-2 at one point in the match against Jack Jones. However, he suddenly lost his touch in the following matches, losing eight games in a row and finally losing 4-10. Such a result is undoubtedly regrettable, and it also exposes Zhou Yuelong's instability in the game.
He Guoqiang also failed to get a win against Dominic Dyer. Although he hit a five-shot 50-plus, Dell's six-shot 50-plus was even better, and in the end, He Guoqiang lost 8-10.
Lu Haotian was promoted
Luckily, Lui played well against Hong Kong's Jenson Kendrick to win 10-7. He showed great strength by hitting two shots to break 100 and four strokes to add 50 in the competition. Lu Haotian's successful breakthrough also saved some face for the Chinese army.
The other players performed well
In addition to the Chinese players, the other players who advanced to the main event also showed a very high level. Wharton advanced with a 10-9 thrasher against Mark Davis. Robbie Williams won the same score against Walklin to earn a ticket to the main event. World champion Bingham showed his veteran demeanor against Hayscott, winning 10-8. Lisowski, on the other hand, defeated Matthew Stevens 10-3 and easily advanced to the main draw.
Looking forward to the main race, look forward to the exciting showdown
With the end of the qualifying round, the eight players who have advanced will join the top 16 players in the world to start the fierce competition in the main round of the World Snooker Championship. We look forward to these players continuing to show their skills in the main event and bringing even more exciting matchups to the fans."
In this qualifying tournament, we have seen the efforts and hard work of the Chinese army, and also seen the strong strength of players from other countries and regions. Although the performance of the Chinese team on the first day was not satisfactory, we believe that in the future competitions, they will continue to adjust their form and achieve better results.
At the same time, we are also looking forward to seeing more exciting matchups and excellent performances in the main competition. Whether they are veterans or rookies, they will show their talent and strength on the stage of the World Snooker Championship. Let's wait and see, and look forward to more surprises and touches from them in the race!
