Quietly, the 2024 Snooker Wuhan Open has kicked off. In the previously concluded 16-8 game, Ding Junhui lost to Walklin 3:5 and stopped in the round of 16.
Such a result was beyond everyone's expectations. Because Walkering's overall strength and world ranking are not as good as Ding Junhui. But throughout the game, the state shown by Wakelin made everyone's eyes shine.
In the whole game, Walklin hit a total of 3 shots to break 100 and 3 shots to 50+. In the case of Ding Junhui's tee off and there was no big leak, Walklin was able to clear the table with one shot. Many netizens sighed: In such a state, even if O'Sullivan or Trump comes, they can only bow down.
In the 7th game of Wackerlin's only mistake, Ding Junhui seized the opportunity to complete the turnaround, and throughout the game, Ding Junhui's accuracy and ball encirclement were much better than those in the previous games. This also proves that Ding Junhui's state has picked up, and his personal ability is still at the top level in the world.
For Ding Junhui, the Wuhan Open, he ended his embarrassing record of five consecutive tournaments and a round of tours. Next, he will actively prepare for the upcoming National Championships in Nanjing. In fact, for Ding Junhui, who is 37 years old and has achieved financial freedom, he no longer needs to rely on grades to justify his name.
As the first person in Chinese snooker, his honors and achievements, looking at the history of Chinese snooker, there is no one before, and it is difficult to have anyone in the future. Ding Junhui, who has made a name for himself in the world arena, has long been synonymous with Chinese snooker. Now 37 years old, even if he no longer participates in competitions, Ding Junhui's income is more than 10 million yuan just by relying on advertising endorsements every year.
Not only that, Ding Junhui also owns a property in the wealthy area of Sheffield, United Kingdom. Because a large number of snooker competitions are held in United Kingdom every year, Ding Junhui also lives in United Kingdom for a large part of the year. In order to better prepare for snooker events, Ding Junhui will arrive in United Kingdom in advance every time he competes, reverse the jet lag, and actively prepare for the game.
It's just that as he gets older, Ding Junhui's competitive state has inevitably declined. And there are many reasons that have supported him to be active in the snooker arena, such as to achieve a Grand Slam. And a larger part of the reason is to continue the love for snooker in my heart.
It is said that behind every successful man, there is a woman who pays silently, and standing behind Ding Junhui is his wife, Zhang Yuanyuan. Zhang Yuanyuan, who is now 43 years old, although his appearance inevitably ages as he grows older. But her overall image and temperament are still young, and her figure is still proud.
Zhang Yuanyuan, who has a prominent family background, has given up her job since marrying Ding Junhui and dedicated most of her time and energy to her family. In order to support Ding Junhui to continue his snooker career, Zhang Yuanyuan took the initiative to take care of the family. In any case, I wish Ding Junhui and Zhang Yuanyuan, and I hope their families are happy and everything goes well!
