On October 25, 2021, the snooker German Masters is about to fall to an end, the two rounds of qualifying are over, only 32 people can qualify for the main tournament of next year, after Ding Junhui is out, Chinese fans are also looking forward to Yan Bingtao's performance, in the Northern Ireland Open he reached the final four, this time is optimistic about another good result, the World Taiwan Federation arranged O'Sullivan to appear in the finale, he is always the big favorite to win the championship.
The Chinese players are currently six people to advance, Zhou Yuelong, Zhao Xintong, Gao Yang, Zhang Anda, Fan Zhengyi, Lu Haotian are all through two rounds of qualifying to become a member of the top 32, and there are five players who have not played, namely Yan Bingtao against Chen Zifan, Liang Wenbo against Evans, Lei Peifan against Wahedi, Zhao Jianbo against Slather, Yan Bingtao and Liang Wenbo with stronger personal strength.
Since winning the Masters championship, Yan Bingtao is also a big increase in confidence, after the start of the new season to reach the final four, defeat O'Sullivan, show a strong impact, the first round of the qualification against Chen Zifan, as long as Yan Bingtao maintains a stable play, the final result is not much suspense, although Chen Zifan won Yan Bingtao once in the British Championship, but the gap between the two is more obvious, Yan Bingtao occupies an advantage.
It is worth mentioning that if Yan Bingtao eliminates Chen Zifan to advance, it is very likely that he will meet with Lei Peifan and compete for a regular seat, waiting for him may be two consecutive derby battles, Zhao Jianbo and Slather's game depends on the on-site play, Slather is stronger, but Zhao Jianbo is not simple, both sides have a chance, whether the Chinese youngster can achieve good results again, it is also worth our continuous attention.
Liang Wenbo's results have been unsatisfactory for many consecutive seasons since winning the ranking championship, but this time he also drew a good draw against the women's World Championship champion Evans, who is Mark. Allen's ex-wife, although she has won the championship many times, there is still a certain gap between the level of competition of the male players, and it is difficult to win Liang Wenbo, and the next step is to wait for O'Brien and Ben. Winner of Hankorn.
O'Sullivan's opponent in the first round was Hussein. Wafi, the latter is not ranked high in the world, but has reached the final four many times, defeated top masters such as Selby, and has the strength to defeat O'Sullivan, this game is still very interesting, O'Sullivan will encounter challenges.
Five consecutive finals, O'Sullivan lost all the way to the runner-up, the best result after the start of the new season is the round of 16, the level of competition has seriously declined, many fans have lost confidence in him, indeed O'Sullivan's 38th ranking champion, I don't know how long to wait, no matter what, or hope that O'Sullivan can find his form and strive for better results.
