On March 25, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker Gibraltar Open continued, and the two matches staged a major reversal. At just 20 years old, Aaron Hill won four straight sets after falling behind 3-0 to eliminate Stuart Carrington. However, two consecutive wins, Aaron Hill was eliminated by Ding Junhui in the third round and missed the round of 16. In another game, Jack Jones trailed 3-0 to complete the comeback, eliminating Robbie Williams.
The Gibraltar Open is a 4-of-7 set format with a very large variable. However, once you get a 3-0 lead, the likelihood of qualifying is greatly increased. Unfortunately, Stuart Carrington and Robbie Williams both established a 3-0 lead, but they were reversed by their opponents, which can be said to be a good game.
In the second round of the regular tournament, Stuart Carrington played against the post-00s youngster Arun Hill, and the two were a bit slow after the opening, and the quality of the single shot was very average. However, Stuart Carrington was more experienced and more capable of seizing opportunities, taking a 3-0 lead. I thought the game had lost suspense, but I didn't expect Alan Hill to not give up, and then played a single shot of 61 points, 55 points, 53 points, 64 points in a row, and completed the reversal after winning 4 consecutive games, and won two consecutive games to advance to the round of 32.
However, Alan Hill lost the match in the third round, and against Ding Junhui, Alan Hill's gap is still relatively large. In the whole game, Alan Hill only shot one 75 points, and Ding Junhui shot four 50+, eliminating Alan Hill 4-1 to advance to the round of 16.
In recent years, Young Chinese players have grown rapidly and have been able to pick the big beam in professional games, Trump, O'Sullivan has said many times that there is no too good new generation of players in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom, there is a sense of no one to follow. Alan Hill is one of the more promising of Europe's new generation, and perhaps this reversal will give him more self-confidence.
In the other game, Jack Jones played against Robbie Williams, who played well in the first half and quickly took a 3-0 lead. Robbie Williams had the chance to end the suspense early, but he missed consecutive opportunities, jack Jones only shot a single 82 point in the fifth set, and the quality of the single shot was also very average at other times, but he won four consecutive sets to complete a big reversal.
Jack Jones had better luck than Alan Hill. In the first round, he received a retirement gift from Hussein Wafi. In the second round, he completed a big comeback with a 0-3 deficit that eliminated Robbie Williams. In the third round, facing seeded player Luka Brechel, Jack Jones scored a single shot of 84 and 99 points, 4-3 to beat the opponent, bursting the big upset. Jack Jones, who advances to the Round of 16, will face Neil Robertson in the fourth round.
From 0-3 to 4-3 to complete the big reversal, it is indeed not easy to appear such a plot in a 4-game win-win system, and this spirit of never giving up is worthy of recognition!
