The 2021-2022 snooker season continues. On November 4, 2021, Beijing time, the Snooker England Open ushered in the second round of showdowns. In this second round of competition, a total of five Chinese snooker players advanced to the final thirty-two, the Chinese team continues to retain the hope of winning the championship, and the Chinese team led by Ding Junhui, Yan Bingtao and others is expected to achieve the wish of the first championship of the season!
The Chinese legion is not optimistic in the next 16 rounds. Four players of the Chinese legion will face back-to-back snooker rivals, with Li Xing challenging Luka Brechel, who previously lost to Brechel 3-4 at the 2017 National Championships. Now that they have met again, Li Xing is also very eager to stage a war of revenge. Ronin's opponent in the second round is veteran John Higgins, who have played three times ronin to win a game, and in recent years, Higgins' form has slipped as he gets older, and Higgins' offense no longer seems to be sharp. And Ronin's defensive skills have been greatly improved, in this English Open Higgins has ushered in two games, and Ronin in the previous qualifying round has been promoted to the main tournament, the first round of the game is also because of the opponent's withdrawal directly to the top thirty-two, Ronin has more physical advantages, and the use of grinding control play to consume Higgins, if Higgins has more mistakes, Ronin promotion will usher in a positive.
In another game, China's snooker brother Ding Junhui will face snooker star Martin Gould, after Ding Junhui was questioned after losing to Mark Davis this season, but at the beginning of the new season of the England Open, Ding Junhui has repeatedly refused to reverse. Ding Junhui has played with Martin Gould eight times before, Ding Junhui still has a great advantage, and has achieved a five-win and three-loss result before, and the last three encounters with Ding Junhui have maintained a full victory, and Ding Junhui is once again expected to teach Gould a lesson. Ding Junhui is still the biggest favorite to win the Championship of China Snooker in this England Open!
In another game, China's famous Yan Bingtao will also encounter severe challenges. Yan Bingtao's opponent in the second round of this English Open is Gilbert, who is known as a potato brother. Potato Brother Gilbert achieved his dream of winning his first career title this season and is also in great shape. The worst record in the race this season was also in the quarterfinals. However, Yan Bingtao also reached the top four in the last leg of the Northern Ireland Open. There is also a lot of confidence in impacting the championship. In the last two seasons, Yan Bingtao has won championships. Yan Bingtao and Gilbert have played each other in history, and the two have won a game each. Yan Bingtao, who is the strongest zero in snooker, is also expected to successfully eliminate Gilbert in this English Open competition.
