The two sides played very well, O'Sullivan blasted a 5-shot breaker and a 4-shot 50+, mark Williams blasted a 6-shot 50+ and a 1-shot 100,000, although it may not be as good as the Rockets in terms of data, but it was also tenacious to drag the game to the decider, and once had a tendency to turn over. O'Sullivan narrowly lost the tiebreaker and struggled to qualify, his next opponent is Neil Robertson, and I believe it will be a very good game.
