If Mark Allen wants to turn the tables, there is only one possibility, that is, to fight back O'Sullivan 9-0 in the last stage, is it possible? Totally impossible!
The second round featured 13 wins in 25 sets, with the winner advancing to the round of 8 at the World Championships. Previously, the first top 8 player was born first: Mark Williams.
