On the evening of April 1, Beijing time, the semi-finals of the Snooker Tour Championship began, and the first match was played against O'Sullivan against Neil Robertson, which was the lineup of the final of the previous tournament, and Neil Robertson was the defending champion. In addition, this is the fourth meeting between the two this season, the previous three, O'Sullivan beat Neil Robertson to win the World Grand Prix, and Neil Robertson completed his revenge at the Snooker Masters and the Players Championship.
In the first set, O'Sullivan's mother ball fell into the bag, and Neil Robertson seized the opportunity to shoot a single shot to break 115 points to win! In the second set, O'Sullivan hit back with a strong 125 points! In the third set, O'Sullivan scored another 90 points to win. The pace of the game was very fast, the first three sets of the ball down, it took only 42 minutes, this is still counting the swing time, it is simply too fast, the average time of the two is also very short, O'Sullivan only 16 seconds, Neil Robertson is only 18 seconds, absolutely fairy fight.
Historical head-to-head record, O'Sullivan 20 wins and 12 losses prevailed, however, Neil Robertson is not afraid of the Rockets, the last 2 encounters, Neil Robertson has won consecutive wins, and still completed the double kill against O'Sullivan in 28 days, very domineering! The two have similar styles of play and are more offensive players, O'Sullivan is known as the "Rocket" and Neil Robertson is known as the "Melbourne Machine".
In the final set of the first half of the first half of the first stage, the two first had a tug-of-war on the defensive end, Neil Robertson missed a defensive shot, O'Sullivan scored the bottom bag red ball to get started, but the mother ball failed to rush out of the red ball pile, and O'Sullivan's attack did not continue. A defensive shot, O'Sullivan rarely thought for more than 1 minute, which also shows the importance that Fire Teacher attaches to this game. Neil Robertson missed the ball and O'Sullivan got on the hook again and managed to hit the black ball back into place.
Without any surprise, O'Sullivan hit another one-shot victory! I have to say that the first half of the first half of the 4 innings was simply a fairy fight, 3-1! 4 innings, 4 par 90+, 3 pars 100, O'Sullivan rushed robertson!
