On December 20th, the ** German Masters Qualifying Tournament ushered in the third matchday competition, with 8 champions, including 2 Chinese players. After Ding Junhui was out, Zhang Anda, who was also China's TOP16, refused to lose 2 in a row, Fan Zhengyi and Cao Yupeng started a derby, and the world champion Bingham played against Fish Belly Pullen, impacting a good start.
So far, only 2 TOP16 players have been out. Ding Junhui lost to Yuan Sijun 2-5, and only scored 1 shot of 50 points in the whole game, which was completely suppressed by China's post-00s, and staged a round of travel for the first time in the new season, which was unexpected. The uncrowned king Lisowski also overturned, losing 3-5 to Sureti and missing out on the main draw.
Today, 8 champions played, and the only remaining Chinese TOP16 player and the new king of the National Championships, Zhang Anda, appeared on the stage against the little-known Dogham. If Tsai wants to avoid repeating Ding Junhui's mistakes, he must prepare carefully and beware of overturning. Fan Zhengyi and Cao Yupeng had an unpredictable ending, although the former won the European Masters, but his performance has not improved since then, and the latter has reached the final of the single-game limited-time tournament in the new season, and it is not surprising that he has completed the next gram.
In the other six matches, world champion Bingham took on Pullen, and there was a great hope of hitting the opener. Gary Wilson, who has just defended his Scottish Open title, will face off against Champions League winner Donaldson, Welsh Open champion Jordan Brown against Long Zehuang, 10-time ranking champion Jimmy White against Pang Junxu, and British Championship and Masters champion Stevens against Kasakov.
