Where is unforgettable wine, the years are like throwing a shuttle. Qingming mercy has passed, and there is not much bitterness in spring. The red tooth board on the seat, the song of the bright teeth before the flowers. At this time, there is no one, fighting for peony.
The 2024 World Championships, the highest snooker event, continues. All the professional players of the Chinese Legion participated, Ding Junhui and Zhang Anda directly advanced to the main competition, and the rest of the players started from the qualifying round, and finally only Pang Junxu, Si Jiahui and Lv Haotian advanced to the main competition.
In the first 3 match days, 8 players successfully advanced. Among them, David Gilbert defeated Brecel 10-9, Trump defeated Hussein Wafai 10-5, Jack Jones defeated China's Zhang Anda 10-4, Maguire upset Ali Carter 10-7, Tomford defeated Wharton 10-6, Shaun Murphy eliminated Lu Hao Tianjin 10-5, Stuart Bingham beat Gary Wilson 10-5, and Joe O'Connor upset Selby 10-6.
The Chinese players have not won a single victory at present, waiting for the first brother Ding Junhui to create a miracle. Ding Junhui's opponent is Lisowski.
Ding Junhui is ranked seventh in the world, once topped the world's No. 1, won the British Championships and the Masters Championship, the only thing in the three major honors is the lack of the World Championships championship, and in 2016, he reached the World Championships final and lost to Selby to be the runner-up, and has reached the ranking finals twice this season.
Lisowski is ranked 17th in the world. So far, he has not been able to usher in the first championship of the ranking tournament in his career, and he is far inferior to Ding Junhui in terms of competition experience. The best performance of the season has been reaching the semi-finals and making multiple rounds of tours. However, his performance in the World Championship qualifying rounds was remarkable. In the game with Liu Hongyu, he shot four shots to break 100 and five shots to 50+, and also scored two shots to break 100 in the game with Stevens.
The two have played each other three times before, and Ding Junhui won all three battles.

Although Ding Junhui made a mistake after 23 points, he still smiled in the face of the fainted red ball, and luck seemed to be on his side. However, he missed the black ball and gave Lisowski a chance, but then Lisowski also lost the color ball, and Ding Junhui scored 60 points in a single stroke, easily taking another 83-1 and leading 2-0.
In the third game, Lisowski made a successful long-distance run and scored 1 point; Ding Junhui leaked the ball, Lisowski scored 27 points and lost the red ball; Ding Junhui made another mistake and the white ball fell into the bag, Lisowski scored 71 points in a single stroke, and won easily with a clean sheet of 102-0. In the fourth game, Lisowski became more and more courageous, scored 91 points in a single stroke, and won another game at 92-4, and the two sides fought 2-2.
In the fifth game, Ding Junhui's morale was like a rainbow, scoring 98 points in a single stroke, and easily went to the next city with 102-2, leading 3-2; In the sixth game, the two sides made offensive and defensive mistakes with each other, and Lisowski scored with many hands, equalized the score with 61-39, and tied 3-3; In the seventh game, Lisowski made a defensive mistake and leaked the ball directly, and Ding Junhui scored 90 points in a single stroke to win.
In the eighth game, Ding Junhui took the lead, but only scored 26 points to interrupt the attack, wasting a good opportunity, Lisowski immediately scored 69 points in a single stroke, and won the game 73-26; In the ninth game, Lisowski made persistent efforts to chase after the victory, scored 67 points in a single stroke, ended the game 67-1, and won the first stage of the game with a big score of 5-4.
The game between the two was almost crazy, and they shot 8 shots of 50+ in 9 rounds
In another game at the same time, the world's 12th-ranked England's post-90s star Kyren Wilson was full of energy and high morale, scoring 123 points, 77 points, 75 points, 73 points, and 52 points in a single stroke, and defeated the world's No. 40 Astro Dominic Dale 8-1, only a stone's throw away from victory.
When I remember that time, I met and met in the suburbs. See the candles in the Han Palace again, and the five marquis' mansions in the smoke. Green grass, lost in the road. Strongly loaded with wine, carefully looking for the traces of the past. The city bridge is far away, and the people under the willows still know each other.
