On November 15, Beijing time, the Snooker World Grand Prix will open the final stage of the first round of competition. Players such as Ronnie O'Sullivan and Jimmy Robertson will play at 21:00 p.m., along with Luka Bretchell, who has just finished runners-up at the British Championships and won the Scottish Open. Brechel's performance in recent days has been very exciting, which has also made fans very much looking forward to his performance in the Grand Prix.
In the early hours of this morning, it was also the second matchday that concluded the first round of matches. Mark Selby beat Barry Hawkins 4-1. Hawkins has performed relatively better than Selby this season, having met 32 times before, with Hawkins leading slightly with a record of 17 wins and 15 losses. The two played very well at the beginning of the game, and after several attacks and defenses, Selby took the lead 80-68 to win the first set. In the second set, Hawkins shot a 2-shot 50+ in a single inning to tie the score at 1-1 with a 130-0 clean sheet. But after a few words Hawkins was not in form, the starter had almost no consecutive points, although Selby's play was also very ordinary, but in the end it was 4-2 to eliminate Hawkins to advance.
In other matches, Cao Yupeng vs Mark Allen, cao Yupeng won the first round with a single shot of 86 points, in the second set, Allen played a single 114 points to clean sheet Cao Yupeng to pay tribute, the next three sets, Allen won 80-33, 79 (79) -14, 63-35, 4-1 to eliminate Cao Yupeng. Little vs Ben Wollaston, Little shot 3 for 50+, Wollaston shot 2 for 50+ and still lost to Little, 4-2 out. Neil Robertson shot a 2-50+ and a 1-100 to keep a 4-0 clean sheet for Sancham. Higgins, who lost to Luka Brechel in the Scottish Open, was defeated by a round trip and missed the promotion.
The three Chinese players participating in this Grand Prix, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and Cao Yupeng, only Yan Bingtao successfully advanced, and he will play Against Gould in the second round. Martin Gould has played Yan Bingtao 5 times before, and Yan Bingtao leads with a 4-1 advantage. I believe that if Yan Bingtao plays stably, he can enter the quarterfinals.
