On April 19, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship came to the fourth matchday to compete. In the first match, Neil Robertson, one of the Big Four, continued the first stage of the hot state, winning three consecutive sets to finally beat Hergill 10-5 to advance to the round of 16. Counting the first stage, Robertson played 8 consecutive innings to complete the big reversal, and the state was amazing.
Robertson is currently ranked No. 3 in the world, while Hegel is currently ranked 77th in the world, after three rounds of qualifying before making it to the main tournament. In the process of promotion, Hegel once knocked out the world's 20th-ranked spectacle man Gould. But apparently, there was a big gap between Robertson and Gould's standards, and It was difficult for Högel to take advantage of Robertson.
In the first stage of the game, Robertson led 6-3. The game began with Robertson blasting a single shot of 127 points to take the lead. But soon Hegel found form, shooting a single shot of 85 and 77 points, and after a wave of three consecutive games, he took a 3-1 lead. Returning from a short break, Robertson was in full swing. First he won the first set 78-41, then shot a single shot of 72, 97, 109 and 132 points to end the first stage with a wave of five consecutive games and a 6-3 lead.
At the beginning of the second stage, Robertson did not have the explosive feel of continuous attack at the end of the first stage, but still played a very high level. In the 10th set, Robertson seized multiple key ball opportunities to win 80-15 consecutively. In the 11th set, Robertson was again a 77-0 clean sheet, taking an 8-3 lead. In the 12th set, the two sides were in a bitter battle. Robertson hit a key far-court red ball again and then completed the scoring. Unable to catch up, Robertson took match point 9-3.
In the 13th set, Robertson did not give up after being overscored, but unfortunately the chess piece was missing, and Hegel pulled back a set. In the 14th set, Hegel won again. But in the 15th set, Robertson didn't give his opponent another chance. In the end, Robertson easily advanced 10-5. After Robertson advances, the next round will be against the winner between Lisovsky and Stevens.
