At Alexandra Palace, the snooker Masters continued to be staged, with two legendary snooker players, O'Sullivan and Selby, one a genius who was difficult to find opponents in snooker history, and the other a snooker star who occupied the top of the world rankings, during which O'Sullivan beat Lissovsky 6-1 and Selby defeated Maguire 6-3.
Now, O'Sullivan ushered in his life to the eighth title of the Masters, after the Rockets have reached the Masters final 13 times, won the championship seven times, and now, he has started the first round of the Masters, against Lisovsky, in order to pay attention to this game, O'Sullivan's 74-year-old friend Ronnie Wood (the famous guitarist of the Rolling Stones) sat on the VIP bench to cheer for O'Sullivan, O'Sullivan did not live up to his friends' expectations, and won easily 6-1.
During that time, he blasted two 100+ (127 points, 125 points) and three shots 50+ (86, 63 and 64 points), no doubt advancing to the quarterfinals and meeting Robertson.
It is worth mentioning that O'Sullivan got a 96% goal success rate, with an average scoring time of 15.3 seconds and the fastest of 8 seconds, and the Rockets' title is worthy of the name.
This year's Masters Selby paid a lot, he even withdrew from the Champions League competition, really focused on the Masters, but unfortunately the first round of performance was not outstanding, after the start of the game has not been able to enter the state, feel cold, although Selby occupies the lead, but has not been a single shot 50+ result, until the sixth set has not improved.
In the first half, the score was glued, Selby was twice caught up by the opponent Maguire in the case of occupying the opportunity, and in the second half, Selby finally eased the situation, the sixth set blasted a single 50+ (64 points), the seventh set reversed the situation, the eighth set Maguire backwater battle, saved a match point, until the ninth inning, Selby won hard, 9 innings played a 50+, it is really difficult to say wonderful, next, Selby will play against Hawkins.
Although he won the game, Selby himself was not satisfied with the performance, he thought that he was in bad shape, there were many mistakes in the game, in addition to complaining about the atmosphere of the game, because the audience always cheered for Maguire, when Maguire did not perform well, the audience would regret for him, and when he scored, the audience did not give much reaction, which made him very uncomfortable on the field.
Because the next game against Barry Hawkins, Selby is difficult to be optimistic, the two are good friends, Selby understands that Hawkins is a difficult player to deal with, so he will give his all on the field.
Now, regardless of the course of the game, O'Sullivan and Selby have successfully advanced, and the next game will become more and more difficult, looking forward to the wonderful performance of the two.
