On April 19, Beijing time, the 2022 World Snooker Championship will continue at the Crucible Theater in Sheffield, England! As of now, 8 seats in the top 16 have been locked, and Chinese players Zhao Xintong are among them. In a game that ended in the early morning, Chinese player Lu Haotian temporarily trailed Bingham 3-6 to end the first stage. The second stage of the game between the two will be held at 21:30 Beijing time tonight.
Lu Haotian is the lowest ranked player in the world among the four Chinese players participating in the main stage. Facing the first round of the seeded player Bingham, Lu Haotian responded with an attitude of attacking his opponent. In the first stage, Lu Haotian fell behind 3-6. In the 9 games, the two of them contributed 8 single strokes of 50+. In particular, Bingham was in hot form. While he scored 50+ points in a single stroke six times, his 140 points in a single stroke in the eighth game became the highest score in a single stroke so far in this World Championship. It was also in excellent form that Bingham allowed Lu Haotian to "swallow eggs" in 4 games.
In other games that ended yesterday, Anthony McGill 10-7 defeated Liam Highfield, and will face the winner of Trump and Wafi in the next round; Mark Allen10- 6 eliminated Scott Donaldson and faced O'Sullivan in the next round!

Today Chinese players Yan Bingtao and Lu Haotian will play one after another! Lu Haotian fell behind 3-6 in the first stage. Facing an opponent in better condition, it will be difficult to chase points, but I still hope he can show his due strength! Yan Bingtao is the 16th seed in this competition, and his opponent Wakelin is ranked 44th in the world. The two have 1 win each in their historical encounters. In the first round of the 2018 China Championship, Yan Bingtao won 5-4; in the second round of the 2019 China Championship, Yan Bingtao lost 2-5! In addition to Chinese players, Higgins , one of the "Three Heroes of 75", will also play!
