On matchday four, four more quarter-finals will also be out, with O'Sullivan being the focus of the day, of course. In the second round, O'Sullivan faced Hussein Waffy, who was in excellent form, with a single shot in the first round, while O'Sullivan was in average form, and the short-term game was also more likely to be upset, and Hussein Waffy had a chance to find a breakthrough.
O'Sullivan said in an interview that the outside world only saw his talent, but ignored his professionalism, and that the results he has achieved today are also the result of his own hard training. In addition to O'Sullivan, there is another world champion who will reach the quarterfinals, that is, Bingham, who will face Ali Carter in the second round, which is a showdown between the two veterans, and the key to victory or defeat is the presence state.
The other two games in the second round were Lisovsky vs. Stephen Maguire and Jimmy Robertson vs. Luka Brechel, which were all strong conversations. It is worth mentioning that Yan Bingtao has reached the quarterfinals, and if Lisovsky wants to catch up with Yan Bingtao and return to the top 16 after this game, playing against Stephen Maguire is a game that cannot be lost, and the pressure is very high.
