Snooker Wuhan Open Qualifying Tournament: Fu Jiajun advances to 10 Chinese players to advance to the main match
China News Agency, Beijing, September 6th. On the morning of the 6th Beijing time, the 2023 Snooker Wuhan Open Qualifying Tournament ended in the UK on the last day of the contest. On the same day, Fu Jiajun, a famous player from Hong Kong, China, defeated Iran’s “first brother” Hussein Vafi and successfully advanced. Prior to this, 9 Chinese players had advanced to the main match of the Wuhan Open.
On the final day of the qualifying competition, Fu Jiajun, the triple champion of the ranking competition, and Peng Yisong, a “post-00” Chinese teenager, played successively, winning one and losing one.
Facing Hussein Vafi, who is ranked 17th in the world, the 45-year-old Fu Jiajun has obviously recovered. The game was inextricably played, the scores of the two sides rose alternately in the first 8 rounds, and the scores were tied 4 times. In the crucial decisive game, Fu Jiajun scored 86 points in a single shot to kill his opponent and won the promotion 5:4.
Affected by injuries, Fu Jiajun has been in a sluggish state in recent seasons and was on the verge of relegation last season. After receiving the two-year professional wild card officially issued by the World Snooker Tournament, he was able to continue to compete in professional games this season.
As the last Chinese player to appear in this qualifying match, the “post-00s” teenager Peng Yisong failed to draw a successful conclusion to the Chinese Legion’s qualifying match with a victory. He lost 1:5 to England player Sam Craigie and missed the chance to return to Wuhan to play at home a month later.
The 2023 Snooker Wuhan Open will start on October 9th. This is the first snooker ranking tournament held in China since November 2019. A total of 128 players participated in the qualifying round, and 64 of them won. One advances to the race.
As the host, the Chinese Legion ushered in the largest scale of participation this season. In addition to the 22 players with professional status who all signed up, there were also 4 wild card players participating. Among them, 18 people participated in this qualifying competition, 10 people advanced and 8 people were eliminated. Another 4 professional players, including Chinese billiards “first brother” Ding Junhui, and 4 wild card players will participate in the postponed qualifying match during the main match.
The end of the 2023 Wuhan Open qualifying round is also the beginning of another ranking match-the 2023 England Open qualifying round will be held at the same venue in Leicester, England from the 6th to the 8th local time. All 22 Chinese players with professional status still signed up for the competition, and 17 of them will play in this qualifying round. Chinese billiard player Ding Junhui, who ranks TOP16 (top 16 in the world), and four other Chinese players who have become opponents of TOP16 players will participate in the postponed qualifying competition during the main match.
