World Championships! Roño Sullivan hit the 7th crown, and Mark Allen confessed: I did my best to stop him

At the 2022 World Snooker Championships, a tough battle is being played, with Mark Allen facing Roño Sullivan, who has won the 7th World Championship, and the winner will advance to the quarter-finals. There is no doubt that many fans, including the media, are expecting Ronho Sullivan to reach the top for the 7th time to equal hendry's record.

As a matchmaker in the round of 16, Mark Allen said bluntly before the game: I will do my best to stop O'Sullivan, and I beat him at the World Championships 13 years ago to stop him in the round of 16. At this World Championship, in the first round of Roño Sullivan against David Gilbert, under the disadvantage of 0-3, he played a 7-game winning streak to win 7-3 to win 7-3, during which O'Sullivan shot 2 shots to break 1004 and 50 plus.

Although David Gilbert pulled back two more consecutive sets and eventually lost the game 5-10, O'Sullivan managed to advance to the round of 16. I believe that as long as O'Sullivan can qualify round by round, fans will be excited about it. Of course, Mark Allen was not easy to mess with, and advanced in the first round with a 2-stroke 1005 50 plus a 10-6 elimination of Donaldson. This season, Mark Allen has won the Title by beating Trump and Higgins at the Northern Ireland Open.

Regarding his opponent Ronin Sullivan, Mark Allen admitted: "Ronnie is a snooker genius, the best player snooker has ever been, there is no doubt about it. I firmly believe that Ronnie will equal or even surpass Hendry's world championship record. Still, I'm sure it won't be this year. ”

Prior to that, the two had played each other 10 times, with O'Sullivan having the slight upper hand with 6 wins and 4 losses. Back in the 2009 World Championships, the two met in the round of 16, the only time the two met at the World Championships, when Mark Allen beat Ronin Sullivan 13-11. Perhaps it was because of that victory that Mark Allen had the confidence to prevent O'Sullivan from advancing to the quarter-finals.

Mark Allen revealed: "For this competition, O'Sullivan has a documentary photography team following him in real time, just to be able to record Ronnie's victory at the World Championship and equal Hendry, the king of Crucible. I believe that Ronnie's influence in snooker is the only one who can do so. Of course, I want to stop this from happening, and the other players will stop him like I did. ”

The match between the two has begun, and from the scene, O'Sullivan is in complete control of the situation, and Mark Allen has no way to start. O'Sullivan scored 87 points in the first inning, and Mark Allen twice tied with 68 points in the second inning. By then, O'Sullivan scored 131, 69 and 96 points, and took a 4-1 lead in three consecutive sets of clean sheets.

A 16-in-8 match, with 13 wins in 25 innings, a 4-1 lead doesn't decide anything. So, in the end, whether Mark Allen can stop Roño Sullivan's promotion remains to be seen.
