On December 16, Beijing time, the second round of the Snooker World Grand Prix was fully launched, and Tom Ford completed the reversal after falling behind 0-2 to defeat Trump 4-3, and he eliminated two consecutive world champions Higgins and Trump to advance to the quarterfinals. Obviously, Tom Ford's quarter-finals are very valuable, and it can be said that he is the number one dark horse in this competition.
In the first round, 38-year-old Tom Ford shot a hundred and two 70+, his offensive feel was very fierce, and finally eliminated world champion Higgins 4-2. Trump shot a three-shot 50+ in the first round to eliminate Wollaston 4-2. Everyone is looking forward to Higgins fighting Trump again, but unfortunately the master-apprentice showdown has not been staged, Trump ushered in the relatively weak Tom Ford in the second round, as a favorite to win the championship, Trump is of course more optimistic.
In the first half of the game, Trump played better, hitting only one 50+ but taking a 2-0 lead. After that, Tom Ford began to power up, shooting consecutive singles of 133 and 65 points, and he completely suppressed Trump in both sets to tie the big score to 2 draws. However, it was Trump who took the match point first, and he won the fifth set 84-20 to take a 3-2 lead.
Unfortunately, Trump made too many mistakes and the attack was not smooth, Andre Ford dared to fight, and with a difficult flip bag, Tom Ford won the sixth set. In the decider, the two were fiercely contested, Andom Ford scored with the last black ball, successfully killed Trump, the score was 61-51, and Tom Ford, who won the decider, eliminated Trump 4-3 to advance to the quarterfinals.
It can be said that Tom Ford has a lot of gold in this quarterfinals, and he has eliminated Higgins and Trump in a row without being favored. Facing Trump, Tom Ford fell behind 0-2, 2-3, but finally completed the reversal, which was very amazing. Tom Ford, who has been unpopular in two consecutive races, is the number one dark horse in this competition, and his real-time ranking is also in the top 20.
On the other hand, Trump's side, only a 50+ shot in the whole game, the competitive state is indeed very general, and missing the quarterfinals also means that Trump cannot surpass Selby after this game, who is firmly in the world.
In another game, although China's Yan Bingtao only shot a 50+, he played well on the defensive end, and he swept Martin Gould 4-0 to advance to the quarterfinals. The winning Yan Bingtao will face Neil Robertson in the quarter-finals, who eliminated Anthony Hamilton 4-1. In the case of Zhao Xintong and Cao Yupeng successively out, Yan Bingtao played steadily and won the first eight-place seat, I believe he will continue to work hard to launch an impact on the final or even the championship!
