Snooker, a near-perfect competitive sport, attracts the attention of fans all over the world with its unique charm. On this stage full of elites, Chinese star Ding Junhui is undoubtedly the most eye-catching star. However, for the Chinese snooker brother, the World Championship has always been the biggest challenge of his career.
In 2019, Ding Junhui finally won the championship trophy at the British Championships, achieving a major breakthrough in his career. But in the following seasons, he repeatedly exited the first round at the World Championships, which is undoubtedly regrettable.
After his latest first-round exit, the Chinese star gave the WTF a visionary suggestion: instead of signing long-term contracts, the World Championship should be held on a rotating basis around the globe to increase the event's impact and appeal.
Ding Junhui's advice is sharp and wise, focusing on the long-term development of snooker. It is not difficult for us to find that the current World Championship has been held in Crucible, England for a long time, which has indeed brought difficulties to many overseas fans.
If this world-class event can be brought to different regions such as Asia, Africa, and the Americas, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the global influence of snooker and allow more people to approach this fascinating sport.
At the same time, Ding Junhui also expressed one of his personal wishes: he hopes to win the championship in Crucible before the venue of the World Championships changes.
As a leading figure in the snooker industry in China and even Asia, Ding Junhui has won many of the world's three major tournaments over the years, but the World Championship has not yet been touched. Realizing this dream will undoubtedly achieve the highest point of Ding Junhui's career and make him the "triple crown" in the true sense.
You know, the World Championship has been the biggest challenge for the Chinese star in his career. Since winning the British Championships in 2019, Ding Junhui has fallen into a long period of slump and has not been able to achieve good results in top competitions. At the latest World Championships, he once again suffered an embarrassing situation of being out of the first round, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on his snooker career.
But Ding Junhui was not hit by the setback, but put forward his own suggestions, pointing out the direction of the future development of the World Taiwan Federation. This undoubtedly once again demonstrates the visionary vision of the Chinese star, who is not only concerned about his personal achievements, but also about the future of snooker as a whole.
To a certain extent, Ding Junhui's suggestion is like a spring thunder, awakening the thinking of the World Taiwan Federation on the development of this sport. After all, blindly resting on one's laurels will not be able to promote the globalization of snooker, let alone attract more young people to join this big family.
If the top event of the World Championship can be brought to different countries and regions, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the influence of snooker in the world and inject new vitality into the future development of this sport.
As Barry Hearn puts it, "We're going to look at it in a completely different way". The change of venue of the World Championships is undoubtedly a new attempt, which will open a new chapter for the future development of snooker. And Ding Junhui's suggestion points out the direction for this change, and makes us look forward to the future development of snooker.
At present, as a leading figure in the snooker industry in China and even Asia, Ding Junhui undoubtedly shoulders a major historical mission. He not only wants to create brilliance on the swing table and add color to Chinese snooker, but also contribute to the global development of this sport. And the suggestions he put forward undoubtedly reflect his deep feelings and lofty ambitions for this big family.
We believe that under the drive of Ding Junhui, Chinese snooker will take off and become a new engine for this sport. At the same time, the change of the venue of the World Championships will also inject new vitality into this sport, allowing more people to enter the hall of snooker and feel its unique charm.
Let us look forward to the fact that in the near future, Ding Junhui will be able to lift the long-lost World Championship championship trophy in this familiar arena, realize his dream of "Triple Crown", and add glory to Chinese snooker.
