On the afternoon of January 11, local time, the 2022 Snooker Masters entered its third matchday at Alexandria Palace in London, and Ronnie O'Sullivan, the 7-time Masters champion, scored 86, 63, 127, 64 and 125 points in the first round of the match against Jack Lisowski, achieving a quick win 6-1.
O'Sullivan averaged 15.3 seconds in this game. Statistics after the game show that O'Sulli's indicators of the text game continue to climb as the game progresses, scoring a total of 179 goals and scoring 643 points, the offensive success rate is as high as 96% ahead of the opponent by 11 percentage points, and the bench also has a surprising accuracy of 86%.
The Rockets' two-shot 100-shot performance also raised the professional snooker 100-breaking record to 1130. O'Sullivan beat Neil Robertson 10–8 in the World Grand Prix final last December to win his 38th professional ranking title.
In Thursday's quarter-finals, O'Sullivan will fight Robertson again for a ticket to the semi-finals. This will be O'Sullivan's 23rd appearance in the Quarterfinals of the Masters.
The game also welcomed celebrities such as Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. "All the players here have been warmly welcomed," said O'Sullivan, 46, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, "and snooker fans in London support every player, and every game." ”
"It's like my home game – but only when I'm holding the cup, not including I'm eliminated! I don't over-interpret my performance, I don't look back on it. Now that I'm in the next round, let's look forward to the next game. ”
The defeated Jack Lisovsky scored only one hundred in the second inning of the match, which was also his first to break the hundred in four Masters qualifications and three appearances (last year due to the diagnosis of new crown).
Gloucester's "post-90s" young player said: "Losing that green ball in the third inning was a crucial turning point. "The less difficult green ball offensive error at this point was repeatedly broadcast by the tv broadcast signal.
"After that Ronnie [O'Sullivan] relaxed and played really well. I kept fighting and I should have chased to 2-4. I didn't feel intimidated by the atmosphere, I felt fine, and it was a good experience for me to learn, and the audience was very enthusiastic. ”
"But it's tough to play against Ronnie here. It's like playing against Roger Federer at Wimbledon (Tennis Open). ”
