European Qualifiers: China's 3 young players have won, Jin Left Hand has been confirmed to retire, and women's Evans is still difficult to win in the new season.
The German qualifiers come to an end and the European Masters qualifiers seamlessly connect, with 128 players battling for tickets to the 5-day regular tournament at the Cannoxes Centre. In the 12 matches that ended on the first matchday, China's Zhou Yuelong, Xiao Guodong and Gao Yang did not lose any of them, and even if they performed only worse, they also advanced to the main tournament by losing only 2 sets.
The TOP16 players only appeared on the day, Lisowski and Bingham, but unfortunately, Bingham, the world championship final four player who has recently suffered defeats in succession, was actually beaten by the 115th-ranked junior Patrick to play a 4-0 at the beginning of the game after taking a 3-1 lead with 82+67 points, and finally stopped the first round 3-5, missing the regular stage. This is also the first matchday is not small. The latter scored 55 and 80 points in the 6th and 7th innings.
Lisovsky played the level of a top master against the 71st newcomer Simon, who won three consecutive sets with 138 points and 80 points, and ended the seventh set with a single 53 points, and finally won the opponent 5-2.
5 o'clock first 4 games, one of which is more interesting, the original Creji against Wahadi, the former was injured and could not play and retired, Cahill came off the bench, but he tested positive for the new crown before the game and was forced to withdraw, so after some twists and turns, the game did not start, Wahdi won without a fight. It is not only these two people who have suffered from the disease, but also the blood test of mark Williams, the 3-time world champion, the golden left hand, also tested positive and had no choice but to withdraw from the competition. Previously, he had "shown off" that four members of the family of five were infected, but he was the luckiest and most resistant person, but his mood at this time did not know how to express it.
China's Xiao Guodong took the lead, and he scored 92, 52 and 68 points against Clark to win five consecutive sets and sweep his opponent out with an exaggerated score of 5-0. At the same time, Mark Davis and Hicks both struggled to qualify for each other.
At 9:30 p.m., Gao Yang continued the good momentum of the season, blasting out 78 and 68 points to lightly win the victory of the Veterans Tournament. Zhou Yuelong faced the former legendary veteran Jimmy White, but he showed no mercy, scoring 66, 83, 64, 60 points to win the same score. Another "green card veteran" Dahdi, who also lost 2-5 in the morning, also followed in White's footsteps, and the two former legends coincided. Despite his stunning 131 points, he still lost in a more energy- and technical struggle. Women's world champion Evans lost 2-5 to newcomer Heathcott, still indefinitely extending the first win period of the new season.
