Beijing time on April 17 news, snooker World Championship will start a second match day of competition. At 17:00, Zhao Xintong vs Jamie Clark (second stage), McGill vs Hayfield (first stage). In the first stage, Zhao Xintong led 7-2, so Zhao Xintong is expected to become the second qualifier after Selby.
The first round of the World Championships took a 19-10 win system, the big score of 7-2, which means that Zhao Xintong only needs to take 3 more sets, with Zhao Xintong's crazy state in the first stage, the Chinese star is likely to quickly end the opponent Jamie Clark in the second stage, thus ending the battle and leaving plenty of time to prepare for the second round. Not surprisingly, Zhao Xintong will pass through the first round and thus advance to the round of 16, setting a new record in the history of his personal participation in the World Championships. Previously, Zhao Xintong had never reached the round of 16 at the Crucible World Championships. Now, Zhao Xintong is so close to creating the best in his personal history.
Another match played at the same time as Zhao Xintong's match was the battle between McGill and Highfield. McGill is the No. 13 seed at the World Championships and has reached the Quarter-Finals of the World Championships. Highfield was afraid that it would be difficult to stop McGill's advance. Of course, this is only the first stage of the game, the first nine sets of the competition, will not determine the final winner.
Then, starting at 21:30, World Championship 3-time champion Mark Williams will also appear in Crucible against Michael White, a Welsh derby.
