In the early morning of October 27, Beijing time, the snooker German Masters qualifiers were all over, and a total of 8 Chinese players entered the main competition, and their performance was remarkable. Unfortunately, Ding Junhui did not make it to the main game. The Snooker German Masters will be held in January next year.
Previously, 6 people in China had broken into the main competition, namely Gao Yang, Zhou Yuelong, Zhao Xintong, Zhang Anda, Fan Zhengyi, and Lu Haotian.
In the last 4 games of the qualifying round, there were 4 Chinese players, one of which was a Chinese derby, and in the end, Yan Bingtao performed well, reversing 0-2 and winning 5-2. After the game, Lei Peifan took the initiative to shake hands with Yan Bingtao and congratulated the latter. Of course, Yan Bingtao's strength is still superior, and it is reasonable to win. In the rest of the matches, Liang Wenbo eliminated his opponent 5-2. Another Chinese player, Zhao Jianbo, was out, losing 2-5 to Gilbert.
That is to say, the snooker German Masters qualifiers are all over, the top 32 are all released, and there are as many as 8 Chinese players, namely Gao Yang, Zhou Yuelong, Zhao Xintong, Zhang Anda, Fan Zhengyi, Lv Haotian, Liang Wenbo and Yan Bingtao. It can be said that China's snooker is developing in an all-round way, not just One Ding Junhui, but many rising stars.
Unfortunately, among these 8 players, there is no name of Ding Junhui, who was out of the qualifiers before, which was very embarrassing. After all, Ding Junhui is the leader of China's snooker, but his state has declined significantly.
Of course, there are 8 people in China who break into the main competition, and Ding Junhui is indispensable. It is no exaggeration to say that there are more than 20 people engaged in professional snooker in China today, and they should all be driven and influenced by Ding Junhui. Now, young rising stars are improving, while Ding Junhui is stagnant.
At present, the most promising successor to Ding Junhui is Yan Bingtao, who has won the Masters championship and is only 21 years old, which can be described as young and promising. Even O'Sullivan praised Yan Bingtao, believing that he had a temperament, that is, a champion temperament, and this temperament, Ding Junhui did not have.
