On 23 October 2021, the Snooker German Masters Qualifiers continued. Cao Yupeng continued to play at a high level, although there was a wave of 10 consecutive failed episodes, but it did not hinder the first round of 5-2 victory. Lu Haotian and Fan Zhengyi broke through the promotion round hand in hand, and six Chinese players have reached the main stage. Two top 16 players (Higgins and Lissovsky) have lost in a cold way.
Cao Yupeng continued his high level since returning to the professional game, beating Robbie Williams 5-2. In the first set, Cao Yupeng failed to rescue 10 consecutive times and was sent off with 51 points. However, that wasn't enough to shake Snooker's highest consecutive free throws – Mark King was awarded 60 points in 15 consecutive missed free throws in the second round of the 2013 British Championships. After that, Cao Yupeng broke the hundred in the second set. Also in the case of 62 points behind in the third inning, with a long table combination ball to get started, played a single 63 points to clear the table, with a one-point advantage to complete the single set reversal.
Sankam had already beaten Higgins in the Champions League earlier this season, a defeat that directly caused Higgins to miss the second stage of the tournament. In Cannock, Sankam once again played the role of "nemesis". Against Higgins, who scored a 138-pointer, Sankam won 5-2 with a better shot of 105, 132, 78 and 79 points. In his career against Higgins, Sancam has achieved a dominant record of 4 wins and 3 losses.
Qualify for rounds. Allen, trailing 2-0, shot a 1-100 and a 3-70+ to beat Songshawar 5-3. After saving two match points, Lisovsky still lost 3-5 to Hayfield. So far, four TOP16 players (Bingham, Hawkins, Higgins, Lisowski) have folded the qualifiers.
Lu Haotian beat Carter 5-1 to achieve Carter's back-to-back double kills at the Northern Ireland Open and this competition. Fan Zhengyi scored a single 85 points in the decider to beat Lu Ning 5-4. At present, six Chinese players (Gao Yang, Zhou Yuelong, Zhao Xintong, Zhang Anda, Fan Zhengyi and Lu Haotian) have entered the main competition
