In the early morning of April 25, Beijing time, the 2024 World Snooker Championship continued. In a key game in the first round, Ding Junhui, the "first brother of China", was killed by Jack Lisowski 9-10, which was the fourth consecutive year that Ding Junhui was tragically "rounded". The question is, do O'Sullivan and Hendry still think that Ding Junhui can win the World Championships?
After a season of competition, the 2023-24 Snooker Tour has entered the final stage, and the Snooker World Championship Qualifying Tournament is hotly staged. In this year's World Championships, a total of 5 Chinese players including Ding Junhui competed. The most anticipated is undoubtedly Ding Junhui, but in the match against Lisowski, despite playing very hard, he finally suffered a "first-round tour" for the fourth consecutive year.
"Little Driver" advanced to the main draw of the World Championships through a victory in the qualifying round, and he defeated Dominic "Astro" Dale 10-3 in the qualifying round to advance to the main event. Coming to the main draw of the World Championships, Lisowski met No. 7 seed Ding Junhui.
The start of the match was in favor of Ding Junhui, who led 2-0 and 4-3 in the first five games. But in the second half of the first period, Lisowski fought back strongly and took a 5-4 lead.
Regarding the performance of the two in the first stage, the official Weibo of the World Snooker Tour wrote: "In the 2024 World Snooker Championship 32 into 16 rounds, Ding Junhui hit one shot to break 100 (127) and three shots of 50+ (60, 98, 90), and Jack Lisowski played four shots of 50+ (71, 91, 69, 67)".
The official Weibo of the World Snooker Tour wrote: "After the opening, Ding Junhui won two games first, and then Lisowski won two games in a row to tie the score, and after returning from the break, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and in the ninth game, Lisowski seized the opportunity to score 67 points in a single stroke to win." ”
At the end of the first stage, Ding Junhui temporarily trailed Lisowski with a score of 4-5. For such a long game, the score of 4-5 does not matter much, it depends on how well the second stage is performed. Ding Junhui came back and equalized 5-5. It's a pity that he entered Lisowski's rhythm again, he won the match point 9-7, and after Ding Junhui stubbornly chased 9-9, Lisowski locked the victory with 84-0 in the deciding game, and Director Ding regretted that he was out.
