On the evening of April 1, Beijing time, the first semi-final of the Snooker Tour Championship was played between Neil Robertson and O'Sullivan, and the first eight sets of the first stage were over, and O'Sullivan drew 4-4 with Neil Robertson. However, from a 4-1 lead to a 4-4 draw, O'Sullivan needs to play more cautiously! Because several consecutive risky benches did not score, O'Sullivan lost the advantage of leading the 3 sets, Robertson's single shot ability is too strong!
Needless to say, this is a true pinnacle showdown! O'Sullivan is ranked 3rd in a single season and Neil Robertson is 2nd in a single season. O'Sullivan has returned to no. 1 in the world and Neil Robertson is no. 4 in the world. This season, O'Sullivan won the World Grand Prix, and Neil Robertson won three consecutive Titles at the English Open, the Snooker Masters and the Players' Championship. Of course, in terms of the total number of champions, no one can match O'Sullivan, who has 38 ranking champions in history. Both are world champions and snooker slam winners, and O'Sullivan, known as the "Rockets", and Neil Robertson, known as the "Melbourne Machine", are both offensive players, and a firefight is in full swing!
In the opening first set, Neil Robertson took the lead in seizing the opportunity, blasting a single shot to break 115 points to win, 119-0 to win the first set. O'Sullivan then launched a strong counterattack, scoring 125 points in the second set, 90 points in the third set, 106 points in the fourth set, and 128 points in the fifth set, winning four consecutive sets and winning 4-1. In the sixth inning, Neil Robertson took the lead in scoring a single 62 points, O'Sullivan did not score on the bench, and Neil Robertson played again with a single shot of 54 points, 116-8, to win the sixth set, in time to interrupt O'Sullivan's continuous winning momentum. In the seventh inning, Neil Robertson scored an 85-point win to keep a clean sheet on O'Sullivan 85-0 and followed another set to bring the General Tom score to 3-4. In the eighth set, O'Sullivan again failed to score on the bench, and Neil Robertson single-handedly won
Judging from the first eight innings of the first stage, the two are in good shape and feel, and their mentality is also very relaxed, focusing on their own shots, not affected by the opponent's single-shot high score, worthy of being a master of the master!
