Overall performance of Chinese players
In the 2024 World Championship qualifiers, the performance of Chinese players was mixed. Five players, including Si Jiahui, Wu Yize, Pang Junxu, Cao Yupeng and Jiang Jun, represented China, and their performances in the competition showed the strength and potential of Chinese snooker. However, judging from the results of foreign wars, Chinese players only achieved a record of 1 win and 5 losses, and the overall performance was not good, which also exposed that the competitiveness of Chinese snooker in the international arena still needs to be improved.

Jiang Jun's dark horse road and regret out
Jiang Jun is undoubtedly a dark horse in this qualifying tournament. He entered the tournament at No. 110 in the world rankings, but he made it all the way, knocking out wild card players, Fan Zhengyi and the strong Sam Craigie, showing good quality. However, when facing world No. 19 Hussein Wafi, Jiang Jun was unable to continue his previous magical performance and finally went out with a score of 5-10. Despite this, Jiang Jun's performance in this competition is still commendable, and his dark horse road also shows the vitality and potential of the new generation of Chinese snooker.
Si Jiahui's strong promotion and 10 consecutive whip feats
In stark contrast to Jiang Jun's regretful exit, Si Jiahui's strong promotion. As the 23rd player in the world, Si Jiahui showed strong strength in the qualifying round. In one of those matches against Belgium, he completed a single-game comeback from 7-9 down and eliminated his opponent 10-7, showing his tenacious fighting spirit. In the derby with compatriot Wu Yize, Si Jiahui played an astonishing 10 consecutive whips, swept the opponent with a score of 10-4, and successfully advanced. Si Jiahui's outstanding performance undoubtedly adds glory to Chinese snooker, and it also makes people look forward to his performance in the main competition.
The performance of other Chinese players
In addition to Jiang Jun and Si Jiahui, the performances of other Chinese players are also worth watching. Pang Junxu won the civil war with Cao Yupeng and successfully advanced to the main event. He showed stable performance and excellent mental quality in the game, and is a new star of Chinese snooker. Cao Yupeng lost in the civil war and failed to qualify for the main event, but his performance was still remarkable. Another Chinese player, Xiao Guodong, unfortunately stopped qualifying in the match with David Gilbert, but his performance also showed the strength and fighting spirit of Chinese snooker.
Neil Robertson's unexpected exit
In this qualifying tournament, in addition to the performance of Chinese players, there is also a match result that has attracted widespread attention. That was the unexpected exit of the famous player Neil Robertson. Robertson lost 9-10 against Jimmy Jones and stopped qualifying. The result of this match is undoubtedly surprising and regrettable, because Robertson is one of the best in the snooker world, and his exit has also deprived this World Championship of a strong player.
A list of Chinese players who have been promoted and eliminated and why
After fierce competition, Lu Haotian, Si Jiahui and Pang Junxu successfully advanced to the main competition. They will represent Chinese snooker in the Crucible year-end awards. The Chinese players who are out of the tournament include Jiang Jun, Wu Yize, Cao Yupeng and Xiao Guodong. Among them, Jiang Jun and Xiao Guodong failed to withstand the pressure in the face of strong opponents and unfortunately exited, Wu Yize lost the derby against Si Jiahui, and Cao Yupeng lost to Pang Junxu in the civil war. Although they failed to qualify for the main event, their performance in the tournament still deserves praise and recognition.
Follow-up outlook and expectations of Chinese players
With the end of the qualifying round, the draw for the main tournament is also about to take place. The Chinese players who made the cut will have the opportunity to compete with the world's best players and show their strength on the stage in Crucible. We expect Lu Haotian, Si Jiahui and Pang Junxu to play their best in the main match and win glory for Chinese snooker. At the same time, we also hope that the Chinese players who have been eliminated from the competition can sum up their lessons and continue to work hard to improve their strength and achieve better results in future competitions.
In general, although the performance of the Chinese army in the snooker World Championship qualifying tournament is mixed, it also shows the strength and potential of Chinese snooker. We believe that in the future competition, Chinese snooker will achieve more brilliant results!
