On April 22, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship came to the 1/8 final competition. In the first game to end, the world championship 3-time champion Mark Williams played a very exciting performance. Facing the dark horse Peppa Page, ranked 90th in the world, the golden left hand led 7-1 in the first stage, and then played a crazy 6-2 in the second stage, with a 13-3 disparity, directly eliminated Page, and advanced to the top 8 first.
Mark Williams is currently ranked 8th in the world, while Page is 90th in the world. The age difference between the two is exactly 26 years, and both are from Wales. It is worth mentioning that Page is still a disciple of Mark Williams, and Uncle Ma has publicly stated that Page is like his fourth son. Before this match, the two had also played cards together to relax.
However, when it came to the competition, Mark Williams did not leave any affection for the disciple. In the first stage, Mark Williams blasted a 7-0 score from the start. Paige only won in the final set, falling behind 1-7 in a desperate situation. In the first stage, Mark Williams has blasted 8 strokes 50+, including 3 strokes to break the 100.
In the second stage, Mark Williams' form remained unstoppable. From the start, he scored 110 points and won again. In the 10th set, Mark Williams reversed the limit and won 70-69. In the 11th set, Uncle Ma scored two 65 points to win another set 130-8, and the score had come to 10-1. Page then pulled back the set 81-13 to make it 2-10. But mark Williams then shot another single 117 and 127 points to win the match point 12-2. In the 15th inning, Page pulled back a set. But in the 16th set, Page made a mistake, and Uncle Ma won by a super point, and finally advanced 13-3.
Since Mark Williams ended the game in the second stage, the third stage between the two sides did not need to be carried out. I have to sigh that when Uncle Ma enters the state, his attack is like mercury pouring down the ground, unstoppable. Next, Mark Williams will face the winner between Yan Bingtao and Selby in the quarter-finals.
