England’s Joe Perry whitewashes China’s Rouzi Maimaiti in wild card round of 2012 Haikou World Open
Joe Perry gave no chance to the young Chinese, Rouzi Maimaiti to stay longer at the table during their wild card encounter of 2012 Haikou World Open and easily grabbed a whitewash win by the score line of 5-0.
The Chinese snooker fans gathered at the Haikou Stadium in Hainan Island were quite disappointed on the local hero’s performance. Maimaiti failed to produce any fireworks at the arena unlike his compatriots who gave tough time to their opponents in their
respective wild card round matches. Perry had to face no hurdle to breeze into the whitewash win over the youngster.
Maimaiti was confident before coming into to arena as he won the wild card entry after performing brilliantly in the local tour events.
Perry, on the other hand, made his way into the wild card clashes after showing outstanding performance against compatriot Anthony Hamilton in the fourth round of 2012 Haiku World Open qualifying session where he snatched the victory by 5-1.
Perry began his run in against the Chinese with a fine 30-0 lead before Maimaiti came at the table. The young Chinese failed to cash the chance and missed a red before Perry cleared the table with some decent clearances to win the first frame by 78-0 and
move into one frame lead at 1-0.
The Englishman cruised into 26-point lead in the second frame but missed on the black ball to let Maimaiti at the table. Maimaiti pocketed 20 points before he missed on a red and handed the table to Perry who smashed a small break to win the frame 69-43
and lead 2-0.
The 28-year-old Chinese had a couple of chances in the third scrappy frame to pressurise Perry but he failed to take advantage of them. Perry, on the other hand, grabbed the frame with a couple of nice breaks of 54 to win the frame 94-25 and hit 3-0 lead.
The fourth frame was quite topsy-turvy as both cuemen were neck and neck for the first few minutes. The scores were 45-48 in favour of the Chinese but he made a couple of fouls which nudged him down by 71-50 in the end and Perry breezed into 4-0 lead.
The fifth frame, after the interval, proved to be the last as Perry ousted Maimaiti with a classy 43-point knock and won the match by the score line of 5-0.
