After four rounds of qualifying, all the seats in the 2022 Snooker World Championships will be generated, and the main match will kick off on April 16. A total of 4 of the 32 players who participated in the main game are from China, they are Ding Junhui, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and Lv Haotian.
A total of 25 Chinese players participated in the qualifying rounds of the World Championships, but in the end only Ding Junhui and Lv Haotian successfully broke through and got tickets for the main competition. It can be seen that the competition in the qualifying rounds is extremely cruel. In addition to the seeded players Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao, a total of 4 players from China will appear in the main game. After drawing lots, Ding Junhui will face No. 5 seed Wilson in the first round of the main match, Zhao Xintong will face Clark, Yan Bingtao will play against Wakelin, and Lu Haotian will face famous player Bingham.
Judging from the half area generated by the lottery, 3 of the 4 members of the Chinese Legion appeared in the upper half, including Ding Junhui, Yan Bingtao and Lu Haotian. As the “first brother” of Chinese snooker in the past, Ding Junhui will face Wilson, who has been in excellent form recently, in the first round. If he can successfully advance, his opponent in the next round will be the winner between Lu Haotian and Bingham. Yan Bingtao’s opponent in the first round, Wakelin, is not a strong player. For him, he has great hope of advancing to the second round. However, he may encounter the defending champion Selby next, and a fierce battle is inevitable. Zhao Xintong, the only Chinese player in the bottom half of the first-round opponent Clark, is also not strong, but the half he is in includes Robertson and O’Sullivan, who are in the top three in winning odds. The road to promotion can be described as difficult.
