Five seats have been decided in the round of 16 at the 46th World Snooker Championships: Mark Selby, Zhao Xintong, Jackson Page, Maguire and Ronin Sullivan. O'Sullivan played well throughout the game, shooting a 3-hundred-50 plus a 10-5 elimination of David Gilbert to advance to the round of 16.
After the game, Snooker's famous commentator McManus said of O'Sullivan: "Regardless of whether he wins the 7th crown to tie hendry's record, O'Sullivan is the greatest player Snooker has ever played, and he is on par with Messi Federer in sports. ”
I have to say that for the 46-year-old Roño Sullivan, the world championship is under great pressure to win the final victory, and the test is very severe. But judging from the first round of matches, O'Sullivan's competitive form remained very good. Against David Gilbert, he trailed 3-0 in the opening and then won six straight sets to tie the game, although Gilbert pulled back two more sets, followed by O'Sullivan breaking the hundred and making four consecutive innings to end the game.
O'Sullivan advanced to the round of 16 10-5. McManus continued: "O'Sullivan is one of the best players I've ever seen because I know how tough it is to play snooker. When you play against him, watching him easily do what he wants to do, in terms of talent, he can do what others can't do, O'Sullivan, he is like the most talented player in the world, such as Messi, such as Federer. ”
"Whether or not O'Sullivan wins this World Championship, he's the most talented player, the greatest snooker has ever been." Jimmy White was extremely supportive of McManus.
No doubt fans who have watched Jimmy White play will not deny his great talent, and in the 1980s and 1990s, Jimmy White wowed snooker fans. In front of O'Sullivan, Jimmy White had bluntly said that he was afraid. Jimmy White said: "He is so incredible, he plays snooker, so natural and so easy, you can never imitate it if you want to imitate it." ”
Today, after 30 years of professional life, the 46-year-old Rogno Sullivan is back at the top of the world, and O'Sullivan is still the player that many players want to beat the most. McManustein: I don't know who the sports players of the year are this year, but Roño Sullivan has already occupied a seat.
According to the schedule of the World Championships, O'Sullivan's next opponent is the winner between Mark Allen and Donaldson, followed by Zhao Xintong or Maguire. The road to victory is difficult, and it remains to be seen whether O'Sullivan wins the title in the end.
