Ding Hongxing did not disappoint the Chinese fans who supported him, on the first day of the game, he defeated the grinding king Alberton with a score of 6-3, including four single strokes over 100, and in the game with Emberton, he was able to play four single strokes over 100, which is already quite an excellent state, with Emberton's style of play, I don't know how many masters have fallen under his grinding skills, and it is even more difficult to play a smooth offensive.
After Emberton lost to Ding Hongxing, he said helplessly in an interview with reporters that Ding Hongxing is one of the most talented players in snooker today, and when his hand comes up, it is estimated that no one in the world can beat him.
In the second round, Ding Hongxing's opponent was the wizard Higgins, who was still an outstanding young player at this time, but he had already shown outstanding billiards talent, won several ranking tournament championship trophies, and the most important was of course the championship of the World Championship that ended in May this year, he defeated the defending champion Doherty 18-12 to win the most important championship in the snooker world. He fell in love with Ding Hongxing, which was naturally a good victory.
Higgins' style of play is also very solid, but his game is also full of imagination, and he can often play amazing attacks, otherwise he would not be called a wizard, a wizard can do magic.
Higgins is obviously looking forward to this confrontation with Ding Hongxing, his state is very excited, as soon as he comes up, he won a game with a sharp attack of 98 points, if he didn't miss a relatively close red ball, he should be able to break 100.
Higgins's excellent form also aroused Ding Hongxing's fighting spirit, he then broke 100 in a row with two consecutive shots, and overtook one game in the total score, after that, he never fell behind, although Higgins tried his best and kept biting the score, but in the end, Ding Hongxing still won the game 7-5 and successfully entered the semi-finals.
In this game, Ding Hongxing once again scored four shots to break 100, and Higgins also had a wonderful performance of two shots to break 100, and this game can also be called a wonderful confrontation.
Higgins also spoke highly of Ding Hongxing after the game, saying that if Ding Hongxing specializes in playing snooker, his achievements will not be inferior to Hendry.
This is already a very high evaluation, Hendry is the current emperor of billiards, the greatest player in snooker history, Higgins actually compared Ding Hongxing to him, but no one thought he was saying anything wrong, because Ding Hongxing was too amazing in these few limited opportunities.
And Higgins, as the new World Championship champion, his words are naturally very convincing.
And very coincidentally, Ding Hongxing's next opponent is the billiards emperor Hendry.
Hendry is in the semi-finals after defeating White and O'Sullivan in a row, he has not been able to touch the World Championship for two consecutive years, and his age is almost thirty years old, under the strong impact of the new force represented by the 753 Jie, his dominance in the snooker world is gradually eroded, and it is becoming more and more difficult for him to win the championship now, however, in this China Open, he still showed a rare good form recently, in the first two rounds, he quickly defeated the opponent, and hit four shots to break 100 in two games, the firepower is very strong.
Although it can't be compared with Ding Hongxing's eight-shot breaking hundred, being able to score four strokes to break 100 is already the offensive firepower of a super-first-class player, as for Ding Hongxing, he is now regarded as a pervert.
In the match with Ding Hongxing, it can be seen that Hendry is still very eager to win, whether he is in the offense, or in the safety of the world has shown a very high level, and once occupied the advantage on the court, but the China Open is Ding Hongxing's only opportunity to participate in the official qualifying tournament of snooker, and he is fighting at home, Ding Hongxing does not want to disappoint his hometown parents anyway, he adjusted his state to the best, and once again hit five shots to break 100, and defeated the billiards emperor Hendry 9-4.
Hendry was also convinced after the game, saying that Ding Hongxing showed strength beyond other players, and as long as he maintained this form, no player could defeat him.
Ding Hongxing's opponent in the final was another of the 753 masters, Mark. Williams, who is also a very spectator of the game, has historically ranked the most accurate attack, and now is at the peak of his form, no matter what kind of ball, as long as there is an angle to the ball, he has a considerable certainty of scoring.
In the first three rounds, Williams defeated Parrott, Davis and Doherty in succession with super accuracy to advance to the final.
The final was a thrilling one, with two players arguably the top two attacking players today, and in their matches, it was rare to see both sides repeatedly playing safety, and they would not hesitate to attack as long as there was an angle to get off the ball.
At the game site, the cheers and applause of the audience were almost uninterrupted, and the audience was enjoying this wonderful offensive battle.
Although Williams's offensive firepower is sharp, Ding Hongxing's offensive firepower is not worse than him, and in terms of the delicacy of controlling the cue ball, Williams and Ding Hongxing are more than a step behind, in a single ball or even a single game, this may not be a big gap, Williams can make up for it with his super accuracy, but in a long game, this gap accumulates considerably, and in the end, Ding Hongxing defeated Williams with thirteen to five and defended the China Open championship.
In this final, Ding Hongxing once again scored eight strokes to break 100, including a perfect score stroke, which is also the third perfect score scored by Ding Hongxing in the official competition, which has surpassed the number of perfect scores played by many professional players in their entire careers.
Judging from the data, Ding Hongxing's offensive firepower in the second China Open is not as good as the first, but this is also a breathtaking performance.
Although Ding Hongxing does not have time to participate in more competitions, with his performance in these two China Opens, he is enough to be called a snooker legend.
