The 11th ranking event of the season, the Scottish Open in snooker, has officially begun. As one of the important competitions of the season, the total prize money of the Scottish Open is as high as £550,000, with the champion's prize reaching £100,000.
Two top 16 players withdrew from the Scottish Open, reducing the excitement of the competition.
World number one Judd Trump announced his withdrawal! Trump has won three championships and two runners-up this season, with a total prize money exceeding £940,000. His withdrawal was not due to a lack of ability, but a rational consideration of the overall season plan.
Three-time world champion Mark Williams also announced his withdrawal. Mark Williams is a legendary figure in the snooker world, leaving a deep mark on the world snooker stage as a "triple crown winner."
The withdrawal of the two top players has reduced the suspense and passion of the entire event. However, it also brings more opportunities to other players, especially those who are in the competitive rising period. They have the opportunity to break through and strive for better rankings and prizes.
As one of the representative players of Chinese snooker, Zhang Anda has gradually come to the fore in recent years and achieved remarkable results in domestic and international competitions. In this Scottish Open, Zhang Anda took the lead in the first round of the game, facing off against Xiao Mo Di.
Zhang Anda has shown considerable strength in both controlling the rhythm of the game and responding to critical moments. His playing style is both powerful and delicate, with comprehensive skills and rich imagination. This is the reason why he stands out in the fierce snooker arena.
In this competition, a total of 16 Chinese players qualified for the competition. There are also three Chinese derbies: Xiao Guodong vs Xu Si, Si Jiahui vs Ma Hailong, Zhou Yuelong vs Yuan Sijun. The schedule for Chinese players is as follows:
I hope that the Chinese team will achieve excellent results in foreign events! The withdrawals of Trump and Williams will be our chance to win the championship again! Come on!
