On the evening of February 9 and the early morning of February 10, Beijing time, the 2022 Snooker Players Championship entered the third matchday. As a result, in the first round of the two matches, the in-form Higgins hit Iran's Wafi 6-3 with a three-shot break, while the Belgian bullet Luka Brecher was sleepwalking, losing 1-6 to Jimmy Robertson. In the first quarter-final, Mark Williams, with a 5-2 lead, was stunned by Ritchie Walton's four consecutive whips and missed the final four.
Wharton whipped Uncle Ma four times in a row
Williams also played four consecutive whips in the first round to eliminate taxi driver Gary Wilson 6-3 after falling behind 2-3. Wharton, on the other hand, dummed 6-2 small steel guns. In the second round of Uncle Ma against Walton, it should be said that both are in good shape. After the start of the game, Uncle Ma took the lead and took a 3-1 lead in the first half with 69-17, 109-29, 34-79 and 107-0.
After halftime, Uncle Ma continued to feel, and he kept another clean sheet at Wharton 102-0, and the big score became 4-1. In the sixth inning, Wharton stopped the decline in time to take back the first set 123-0. But in the seventh set, Uncle Ma won 67-42 through multiple starts, taking the lead 5-2 to get the match point. At this time, many people believe that it is only a matter of time before the golden left hand wins the game, and no one will think that this is the last game that Uncle Ma will win.
Next, the game suddenly changed, and the game became Walton's personal performance. He blasted three consecutive shots of 50+ to win four straight sets 69-11, 99-0, 71-46 and 65-30. This wave of four consecutive whips drew Uncle Ma's eyes to Venus, watching Walton reverse the score 6-5 to advance.
The wizard knocks down Wafi
In the previous two first-round matches, Higgins, as the defending champion, although he fell behind Wafi 0-2 in the opening, but the old wizard seized the opportunity to win the third and fourth innings to ensure that he did not fall behind before the half-time break. After returning from a break, after the two sides had won one set each to draw 3-3, the Wizards punched out three punches to take away the victory with three consecutive sets of 101-17, 108-0, and 106-10.
Lucca for a round trip
In the other match, Belgian Bullet Luca Brechel lost the courage of the British Championship and continued to be muted after winning the first set 88-0. Sent home by Jimmy Robertson in a six-in-a-row whip, he was brutally attacked by a round trip. The specific scores are: 58-49, 62-26, 77-42, 68-15, 92-0 and 127-1.
