中新社北京8月11日电 2022年斯诺克英国公开赛于北京时间11日凌晨结束资格赛第二日的较量，中国军团斩获9连胜——继首日5人全员获胜后，次日4名中国球员又悉数晋级。其中中国台球“一哥”丁俊晖以4:2战胜“95后”奥利弗·莱恩斯，赢得了其赛季首秀。 Vijay Varma has, over time, proved himself as an actor through his various roles. The actor who ventured into Bollywood with a negative character continued to stick to the genre consciously. The actor is now all set to break through his negative on-screen image and step into the world of old-school romance as a lover boy in Manish Malhotra's Gustaakh Ishq.
Talking to IANS, Vijay spoke about consciously breaking his image as an antagonist and stepping into the world of love and romance. He said, “It was a break that I wanted from the negative parts because they tend to weigh down on you. I was constantly told by fans, ‘We hated you in that film; we hated you, but you are a brilliant actor.’" So I wanted to get rid of the word “hate" and call it something else. So be it IC-814 or Jaane Jaan or Murder Mubarak or anything else, I just wanted to take a break from that.”
Talking about Gustaakh Ishq, Vijay shared, “It is a sweet, romantic film. It has love, it has worship, it has sin. There are a lot of things in it that were there for me to explore as an actor.” He also elaborated on making a conscious shift from playing negative characters to soft and positive ones. He said, “Anything that you do new tends to take a bit of time to adjust to, and it can be difficult. I remember when I was in Pink, it was a very dangerously written scene and was a very gruesome scene in the car.”
He added, “Here, in Gustaakh Ishq, I would say that the challenge was to pull off such poetic dialogues and to stand in front of ‘THE’ Naseeruddin Shah, the legend, and to not shiver, yet manage to be believable, and to convey all the emotions correctly. It was a new challenge. Whenever you switch or change yourself, it can be a bit challenging. But it’s fun. And then you keep doing it for a while, and then you feel like doing something new. So my next step will be to try to go towards comedy.”Also Read: Vijay Varma Says He Threw Up During Darlings Screening and Feared It Would Hurt His Career。自今年四月在斯诺克世锦赛正赛上遭遇“一轮游”后，丁俊晖返回国内，接连缺席了2022-2023赛季的前两场比赛(冠军联赛和欧洲大师赛资格赛)，此番出战英国公开赛资格赛是其新赛季的首次亮相。
B | 丁俊晖此次的对手是子承父业的英国小将小莱恩斯。此役开始，状态不错的丁俊晖迅速进入状态，前两局以2:0领先。随后莱恩斯连下两城，以2:2追平比分。关键时刻，丁俊晖显示出实力和经验上的优势，接连打出单杆81分和128分的好成绩，以98:0、133:0连续两局零封对手，最终以大比分4:2在赢得新赛季首秀的同时，也成功晋级英国公开赛正赛(正赛将于当地时间9月26日至10月2日举行)。
C | 作为中国台球的领军人物和世界斯诺克领域曾经的“80后”翘楚，丁俊晖近几年状态低迷。在2019年英锦赛上获得第14个排名赛冠军后，近3年来不仅无缘在排名赛中再次登顶，且多次在不同赛事中早早出局，世界排名已掉至第34位。因此，球迷们也期待丁俊晖能在新赛季重振旗鼓，打破久违的冠军荒，赢得第15个、乃至更多的排名赛冠军。在本次资格赛第二日的其它赛事中，另3名出战的中国选手也均传出捷报——刚在冠军联赛中跻身决赛的鲁宁以4:3绝杀塞尔特；“80后”老将田鹏飞在0:1落后的被动局面下，以4:2击败克雷吉；少年成名的吕昊天以4:1淘汰老将马克·金。至此，在本次资格赛前两日出战的9名中国选手全员晋级正赛。资格赛第三日，又有3名中国选手登场亮相，他们是梁文博、袁思俊、吴安仪。其中最受关注的当属另一名中国台球老将、继丁俊晖和中国香港名将傅家俊后第三位获得排名赛冠军的中国球员梁文博。因“殴打女性事件”，梁文博被世台联禁赛至今年8月1日，英国公开赛成为其解禁复出的首场赛事。在日前进行的热身训练中，梁文博状态爆棚，打出单杆147分，其在新赛季首秀的表现同样备受关注和期待。2022年英国公开赛资格赛于当地时间8月9日至14日进行，采取7战4胜制，所有参赛球员都将进行一轮资格赛，胜者进入正赛。
D | 中国军团共有28人参赛，再创参加排名赛人数的新高。(完)
