In the second round of the Snooker World Championships, 14th seed Lissovsky is probably going to come to the top, as he will challenge the top pick Neil Robertson. It can be said that from the perspective of all aspects of comparison, Lisovsky is at a great disadvantage and has little chance of winning.
First of all, turning over the past record of the two, Lisovsky can be said to have been beaten by Neil Robertson, a total of 11 direct duels, Lisovsky lost 10 games, the last 5 games have been 5 consecutive defeats, the only victory is the short-term Champions League, dating back to 2019.
Secondly, in terms of fame, Neil Robertson is the world's top three, ranking 23 champions, World Championship champions, Masters champions, British Championship champions, snooker Grand Slam winners, single-season rankings, Neil Robertson is the first place this season. In contrast, Lisovsky is difficult to find a crown, and he is still working hard for the first crown in his career rankings.
Third, the immediate status of this World Championship. Neil Robertson eliminated Hugel in the first round, and during the match, the Melbourne machine blasted 4 strokes to break the 100, becoming the world championship single-game 100 king so far. After the 10-8 elimination of Matthew Stevens, Lisovsky confessed: "I was taken out, and I couldn't play at all. I couldn't judge the ball, I couldn't make up my mind. I did well early in the race to get the lead, I just had to persevere and barely cross the finish line.
Although Matthew Stevens lost, after the game, the "Welsh Dragon" said: "I don't feel any pressure, I can see that he (Lissovsky) has some pressure interference because I started to fight back against him."
