Fu Jiajun
Fu Jiajun, 43, is a world-famous snooker player who has won ranking championships three times in his career: the 2016 Scottish Open, the 2013 Australian Open, the 2007 London Grand Prix, the best of the three tournaments is the masters and the runner-up of the British Championships, the World Championships have reached the final four twice, and have also blasted 4 strokes of 147 points, and once reached the fifth place in the world ranking. In the past two seasons, due to eye diseases and the impact of the epidemic, Fu Jiajun has not appeared in professional competitions for a long time. Since the beginning of this season, Fu Jiajun has not participated in any of the events, and the world ranking has also slipped to 72nd, if there is no wild card Fu Jiajun will most likely fall out of the professional circle.
In a recent interview with hong Kong media "Sports Road", Fu Jiajun revealed that he may change his original intention and consider a "comeback" and is discussing the possibility of participating in this season's World Championships with Wayne Griffiths (son of Terry Griffiths). According to the latest and temporary rules released by WST this season, fallen players who make it to the main stage of the 2021 Snooker World Championship can qualify professionally for the next two seasons.
Previously, Fu Jiajun had been on the social media @ Herne, hoping that the chairman could award a wild card, and Fu Jiajun, who was very popular, immediately got the support of many players and fans, and did not get a response from Herne at that time.
Now that Fu Jiajun has obtained his wild card as he wished, the 2021 World Championship Qualification Tournament was held in Sheffield on 7-14 April, and we can see Fu Jiajun's match at this year's World Championships as early as this year, and Fu Jiajun's comeback at the latest next season. I hope that Fu Jiajun, the big brother of China's snooker, will return to the top.
