China News Agency, Beijing, February 2nd, the morning of the 2nd Beijing time, 2023 Snooker German Masters ended the first day of the competition. Two “post-80s” Chinese players Guo-Dong Xiao and Tian Pengfei advanced to the top 16.
Snooker German masters can be called the “lucky place” of Chinese players “. In 2014, Ding Junhui, the “first brother” of Chinese billiards, won the 10th ranking championship in his career in the German Masters competition that year. Last year, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao joined in the final of the German Masters (Zhao Xintong won the championship). Chinese players won the championship in the ranking competition and once became a good story in the World Snooker field.
But only one year later, for many Chinese audiences, the event has already been “Human beings are different”. Due to suspicion of “gambling”, many Chinese snooker players were temporarily banned by the World Professional Snooker Association (WPBSA), including Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, the champions of the German Masters last year.
After The Qualification match of the German Masters, there were 12 Chinese players entering the real competition (top 32), but influenced by the “gambling” storm, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, Li Xing, zhao Jianbo’s four people were disqualified from the competition, and Ding Junhui also missed the final match because he was out of the qualifier. Therefore, there are 8 Chinese players participating in the main match of the German Masters.
In the first day of the competition on lever, February 1, local time, five Chinese players who took the lead in the show won 2 and lost 3. Among them, the “China derby”, which competes with the “00 s” junior general and the 2022 European Masters champion fan, has attracted much attention in Guo-Dong Xiao.
This “civil war” in China is hard to solve because both sides know each other. Fan competes for the first place, leading by 1:0 in the first game, but after winning 3 consecutive games in Guo-Dong Xiao, he surpassed the score by 3:1. In the following three rounds, fan competes for one to control the situation and retakes the leading position with 4:3. At the critical moment, Jiang was still old and spicy. After winning two games in a row in Guo-Dong Xiao, he won the promotion with a total score of 5:4.
Tian Pengfei’s opponent is McGill, the 19th in the world. When the first game fell behind by 0:1, Tian Pengfei, who was currently ranked 50 in the world, launched a strong counterattack, winning 5 rounds in a row, and finally took the opponent lightly with a total score of 5:1, there was a cold door that was not too big or too small.
In addition to fan Zhengyi, the other two Chinese players who complained in the event of the day were “post-90s” Zhang Anda and “post-00s” Peng Yisong. Among them, Zhang Anda challenged Lisovsky, who ranked 12th in the world, and was defeated by 0:5; Facing Jimmy White, a British veteran born in 1962, Peng Yisong scored a total score of 1:5. The successful opponent became the first 60-year-old (and above) player to reach the top 16 in the ranking in the past 30 years.
On the second day of the German Masters snooker tournament in 2023, the other three Chinese players, sijiahui, Cao Yupeng and Pang Junxu, will continue to compete for the top 16 seats. (Finished)
