On March 25, Beijing time, the Snooker Gibraltar Open broke out. World No. 2 Rocket o'Sullivan, with a 3-1 lead, was reversed by Wollaston, who was only ranked 45th in the world, and suffered a round trip. O'Sullivan also became the biggest seeded player out of this tournament, and the fans were very sorry.
As on the first matchday, the remaining 8 top 16 players will be decided on the second matchday, so to advance to the round of 16, you need to win three consecutive matches. O'Sullivan's opponent in the first round is Ben Wollaston, who is currently ranked 45th in the world. It looked like O'Sullivan would make it less difficult to advance to the next round, but it didn't happen that Wollaston would cause O'Sullivan a lot of trouble.
After the game began, O'Sullivan took the initiative. After gluing in the first set, O'Sullivan won 71-9. In the second set, Wollaston scored a single 65 points to tie the score 77-1 to tie the score at 1-1. In the next two sets, O'Sullivan showed his offensive ability, blasting out 51 and 60 consecutive singles to win the match point 3-1.
However, Wollaston did not surrender. In the next two sets, Wollaston, although he did not shoot a single 50+, won two consecutive sets 88-0 and 96-30 through a solid performance, chasing the score to 3-3 and thus dragging it into the decider. In the decider, O'Sullivan first threw the ball in the bag, and then missed the opportunity from the far side. Wollaston was not polite, and after scoring 47 points in a single shot, Wollaston had already completed the super point.
In the end, Wollaston upset O'Sullivan, causing the Rockets to suffer a round trip. In the earlier match against the Chinese players, Zhou Yuelong narrowly defeated Li Walker 4-3. There will also be famous players such as Trump on this match day.
