Since entering the 2023/24 season, as Zhang Anda won the runner-up in the English Open and won the National Championship for the first time, many fans began to think that Zhang Anda has become the new snooker brother in China. But objectively speaking, this view is very subjective and has no objective basis in reality.
Not to mention that Zhang Anda has been competing in the World Snooker Tour for so many years, just in terms of stability and honors, Zhang Anda is far inferior to Ding Junhui. Since Ding Junhui completed his first tour championship, he has won 23 championships, including 14 ranking championships, and four of the three major championships.
Not only that, Ding Junhui's influence in the UK is unmatched by any other foreign players. So whether it is in terms of achievements or influence, Ding Junhui is truly the number one snooker brother in China.
Ding Junhui won 23 crowns and became the most accomplished player in Asia
In the World Snooker Tour, Ding Junhui is the most accomplished player in Asia. Since defeating Hendry, Davis and O'Sullivan to complete the triple crown in ranking matches and create history, Ding Junhui has won 23 championship trophies in the World Snooker Tour, including a record-breaking triple crown in the British Championship. and first Asian Masters title.
In the Asian snooker field, it is extremely difficult for anyone to achieve this achievement. Wattana, once known as the Asian golf king, has only won 7 championships in his lifetime, while Ding Junhui has won more championships alone than all other players in Asia combined. Obviously, Ding Junhui’s position in the field of Asian snooker cannot be replaced for the time being.
Even when he was in a downturn, veteran football king Davis also recognized his strength. Davis revealed that no matter where Ding Junhui is ranked, in his mind, China's greatest player will always be among the top 16 players in the world. hand.
Zhang Anda is far from reaching the height of China’s No. 1 brother
Although Zhang Anda is the best-performing Chinese snooker player so far in the 2023/24 season, if he is considered to be China’s No. 1 brother because of this, then this This statement is still too far-fetched. From the perspective of achievements, Zhang Anda's one championship and one runner-up this season is basically all his achievements so far.
Judging from the overall results, Zhang Anda did not have any amazing performance before this season. Judging from the world rankings, Zhang Anda's highest world ranking is 12th, while Zhao Xintong had already reached 9th, and Ding Junhui became the first Asian player to rank No. 1 in the world.
In terms of achievements and world rankings alone, Zhang Anda is far from the standard of China's top brother. As for influence, there is no need to mention it. Not to mention setting records, but talking about the enjoyment of the game, Zhang Anda is far from Ding Junhui's standards. And this also makes his influence less than that of the player Ding Junhui, so he is still far away from the number one brother in China.
Ding Junhui has truly become the number one snooker brother in China
As the most successful snooker player in China and even Asia, Ding Junhui and Barry Hearn, the former chairman of the World Taiwan Federation, were inducted into the Snooker Hall of Fame. This is not only an affirmation of Ding Junhui’s strength, but also an affirmation of his many years of contribution to snooker.
In terms of achievements, Ding Junhui not only became the first Asian player to break the British dominance of the three major competitions, but also made history by defeating three consecutive generations of golf champions Hendry, Davis and O'Sullivan to complete his first three crowns. First person. The achievements of 23 championships on the tour and 14 championships in the rankings have made him an unshakable presence in the Asian Taiwanese scene, not to mention that he also has many world records.
From the perspective of influence, Ding Junhui is still one of the most influential players in the snooker field. He even has home court status in the British Championships and World Championships, which is absolutely rare for foreign players playing in the UK. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Ding Junhui is a veritable brother in Asia. It is almost impossible for others to take his place unless he leaves snooker.
