The 2022 World Snooker Championship is still in progress, but for China's snooker, it is over, with Yan Bingtao stopping in the quarterfinals, the 4 Chinese players participating in this world championship have ended this year's Crucible trip, which also ended this season's world professional snooker journey.
First summarize the World Championships, the results of the Chinese snooker legion are: 1 8 round, 1 16 round, 2 first round trips
Undoubtedly, Yan Bingtao was the best performer, eliminating Wakelin 10-6 in the first round and overturning the defending champion Selby in the second round! Unfortunately, Yan Bingtao failed to reach the top 4 further, 11-13 lost to Mark Williams, who returned to his peak state, but Yan Bingtao is still regarded by everyone as the most Chinese player with the world championship, and hendry, the 7th champion of the World Championships, said: Yan Bingtao can become the world champion earlier than Zhao Xintong. Last year, Yan Bingtao entered the round of 16 of the World Championships; this year, Yan Bingtao entered the top 8. Such a footprint shows that Yan Bingtao has walked very steadily every step.
Zhao Xintong, who has won two consecutive British Championships and Two German Masters titles this season, stopped the Round of 16 of the World Championships and lost to qualifier Maguire. Of course, Maguire has won 6 ranking championships, and the competition experience is more abundant than Zhao Xintong, which is also one of the reasons why Zhao Xintong lost. In the game, Zhao Xintong was always led by Maguire's nose, and he couldn't play his own rhythm, and it was inevitable that he would lose. At this stage, what Zhao Xintong urgently needs to strengthen is the understanding of professional snooker, which is an internal strength and needs time to precipitate.
The 2 first-round tours belong to Ding Junhui and Lu Haotian respectively. About Ding Junhui, I am afraid that many people have disappointed, the first round of facing Karen Wilson, 4 consecutive shots of 50+, the perfect start to win the first three games in a row, and finally lost, losing at the psychological level of the key ball in the key round! This cannot be improved, and no matter how the technology is restored, it is futile, and it may be possible to win the ranking championship again, but there is no hope of winning the world championship. As for Lu Haotian, we can't ask too much, after all, he has not yet won the ranking championship.
In the summary of this season, the Chinese snooker army won 3 championships and 1 runner-up, Zhao Xintong won the British Championship and the German Masters laurels, Fan Zhengyi reached the top of the European Masters, and Yan Bingtao was the runner-up of the German Masters. Of course, China Snooker also received a heavy fine, and Liang Wenbo was banned for assaulting women.
