In China, as long as Snooker is mentioned, many fans will think of Ding Junhui as soon as possible.Indeed, during the peak, Ding Junhui was the spokesperson of Snooker, China. Just as he said that he would think of Yao Ming when he said basketball, he would think of Liu Xiang when he said that when he spoke, he would think of Li Na first.When talking about Snooker, Ding Junhui naturally appeared in his mind.
And Ding Junhui can really afford this glory.The worlds name of the Snooker has its own fame.Since his debut, Ding Junhui has won more than a dozen tour championships.In the top three competitions, except for the World Championships, Ding Junhui has already reached the top of the Masters and British Championships.With the outstanding performance of the year, Ding Junhui even ranked first in the world.
However, among the top players in the worlds Snooker, there are still very few Chinese players. For a long time, the worlds top 16In the player lineup, only Ding Junhui was a Chinese player.But under the influence of Ding Junhui, China Snooker developed quickly, and many young people chose to become a professional Snooker player.In recent years, many Chinese players can participate in major competitions in the world, known as the Chinese Legion in the Snooker.
The amount of quantity changes. As more and more Chinese players participating in Snooker, in addition to Ding Junhui, Chinese players also appeared again, and there was another appearance.Some good players.For example, two years ago, in the worlds top 16 people, Ding Junhui, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao appeared.As Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao involved in the ban on the fake ball, only Ding Junhui was in the first 16 lineup of the world.
However, in the past two years, many players in China have begun to work hard and slowly entered the ranks of first-class masters.At the 1/4 final of the 2024 Snooker International Championship, Xiao Guodong defeated Page 6-4 and advanced to the semi-finals!With this victory, Xiao Guodongs world ranking is determined that it will be in the top 16 after the game!At present, Ding Junhui (9th), Zhang Anda (11), Sijiahui (13), Xiao Guodong (15th) are all in the top 16. This is the first time in the history of professional Snooker.Top16 top lineup!
Some netizens said that such a grand occasion will not be the end, but the starting point.With Zhao Xintongs lifting of the ban, it is not surprising. With his strength, he should return to the top 16 in the world in a short period of time.Perhaps at that time this first -class master lineup, the Chinese legion will further expand.
