Yan Bingtao stopped the Grand Prix Quarterfinals O'Sullivan was still dissatisfied with his performance

On December 16, local time, the 2021 Snooker World Grand Prix continued in Coventry. Robertson and Selby defeated Yan Bingtao and Fude respectively to meet in the semi-finals early. In the second half, O'Sullivan leads Maguire, Bingham and J. Robertson to promotion and will compete for the remaining two places in the final four.

In the first two quarter-finals, Robertson eliminated China's Yan Bingtao 5-4. In the decider, Yan Bingtao lost his hand in the FAR PLATFORM after scoring 43 points, leaving the opportunity to the opponent. The contest between the two sides continued until the stage of competition, and finally Robertson won a thrilling victory and advanced to the final four. In another quarter-final, Selby beat the brave Fode in the first two rounds 5-2 to compete with Robertson for a final spot.

In the final four second round matches, O'Sullivan beat Waffi 4-1 to secure a place in the quarterfinals. But the "Rockets" were not satisfied with the course of the game. 'The first three sets were really bad and if he (Wafi) could have played better, he could have easily beaten me 4-0. O'Sullivan said after the game.

"I always play some ball to please the audience and enjoy it myself. But now such a stupid thing has nothing to enjoy, it is terrible. Others can easily sweep me out if they play a little better. This is already reflected in my grades. I used to win championships, now I just play in the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals. I'm not as strong as I used to be, and I've accepted that, so there's really no energy left to be squeezed out. I've actually done a good job, and I can still play wonderful balls during practice, but I don't have it in the game these days. O'Sullivan's opponent in the next round will be world number 49 J. Robertson, who eliminated Brechel, who had just won the Scottish Open, 4-3.

Lissovsky conceded a good set with a 3-1 lead and was reversed by Maguire with three consecutive sets. After the game, Lisovsky also reflected on his performance: "I lost that black ball when I was 3-1 ahead. I completely lost my focus, which is simply too typical for me, and this has been happening all the time in my career. I messed up the great opportunity and then failed. Winning the game should have been a natural thing to do, but it didn't happen to me. I had to figure out how I could change that. ”

Maguire, who advances to the quarter-finals, will compete with Bingham for a place in the final four, who also reversed from behind, beating Carter 4-3.
