The 2021 German Masters officially kicked off at the Marshall Arena from January 27 to January 31. After the world number one Trump is absent from the Masters, the new crown test will normally return to participate in the German Masters. There is no doubt that Trump is aiming to defend his title.
In the final of the German Masters last year, Trump defeated Neil Robertson to win the championship. Last season, Trump won 6 ranking championships and became the first person in snooker history. This season is still Trump's world, winning three ranking championships in England, Northern Ireland and the World Grand Prix.
This year's German Masters, there is no doubt that Trump is still the biggest candidate to win. On the road to Trump defending his title, only Chinese player Ding Junhui is his biggest obstacle.
Why is Ding Junhui only? Because of the "75 Three Masters", only John Higgins qualified for the race, Ronio Sullivan chose to abandon the race, Mark Williams was eliminated in the first round of the qualifying round, and John Higgins has been eliminated since the 2019 World Championships After losing to Trump, he has not won a game so far.

On the first day of the qualifying match, he fell 4 to 5 under Wollaston's pole.

He is the queen of the 90s, Karen Wilson. The two played against each other 20 times in their careers, and Trump had the upper hand with 11 wins and 9 losses. However, Karen Wilson also failed to make the main game. In the second round of the qualifying round, Karen Wilson lost to Jack Jones 4-5.
Ding Junhui and Trump are in the upper half. If they go well, they will meet in the quarterfinals. They played 16 times in their career. Trump 8 wins and 8 losses can be said that Ding Junhui is on par.But at present Ding Junhui's feel and state are not Trump's opponents at all. It remains to be seen whether Ding Junhui can stop Trump from defending his title.
