Take advantage of the joy and bring the beauties. Go deep into Fangfeli. Pluck the huqin language, gently and slowly twist the total profit. Look at the skirt of Joro, the anxious sandalboard, and the neon dress is broken. The moon is on the eyebrows, the drunken face is horizontal, and the singing is melodious and cloudy. Ren is full of red rain and flowers flying.

At present, although Zhang Anda is second only to Ding Junhui in China, his strength is still much different from Ding Junhui in the long game competition. Ding Junhui's best result in the World Championships is the runner-up in 2016, Liang Wenbo advanced to the top 8 in 2008, Fu Jiajun in the top 4 in 2016, Yan Bingtao in the top 8 in 2022, and Si Jiahui in the top 4 in 2023.
Ding Junhui, ranked No. 7 in the world, is the No. 7 seed in the tournament, and his opponent is Jack Lisowski, who is currently ranked 17th in the world.

Ding Junhui has no problem advancing to the quarterfinals, but in the later games against Wilson or Bingham, the first brother can only rely on luck, and basically missed the showdown against O'Sullivan and Trump.
Frequently drunk, Hao Hao Song, the bright moon surging waves. The shore grass neighs and horses, the mountain flowers press the green snails, the snow willows make silver moths, and the beautiful women look at me under the lights.
