On August 3, Beijing time, the 2024 United Kingdom Open qualifying tournament is underway, and in a focus battle that ended yesterday, the national powerhouse that had the opportunity to carry Chinese snooker in the future lost 3-4 to the world champion Bingham, known as the king of the tiebreaker, swallowed the defeat because of a simple black ball mistake. However, despite the defeat, he was able to chase down to a 3-3 draw after falling behind 0-3 (the opponent successfully reversed 60+ in two games), which is enough to see that the mentality of the second-year Guoqiang is good enough, and from this point of view, it is stronger than Zhou Yuelong and Lu Haotian!
The 2024 United Kingdom Open was the first defeat for the national powerhouse
Fortunately, Xiao Guodong, Yuan Sijun, Long Zehuang and Fu Jiajun, who appeared at the same time, all defeated their opponents without danger, Xiao Guodong won the derby against Huang Jiahao, Yuan Sijun withstood Jones's counterattack and won, and the four also brought the number of Chinese snooker to eight in the main match of the United Kingdom Open!

The best defeat, unload the burden and start again, and succeed Yan Bingtao as the first person in mentality
With the regrettable loss to Bingham in the decisive game of the national strong this time, Bingham failed to keep his record on, and Bingham showed the ability to win by one shot at the level of the World Championship champion in the tiebreaker, and it is not unjust to lose to a player of this level by one point! This defeat may allow Guoqiang to unload the burden and start again, if he can maintain such a calm psychological quality in his future career, he has a very good chance to become the first person in the Chinese Snooker World Championships! It's hard to get started, starting with reaching a final this season.
