In the early morning of April 23, the snooker World Championship ended the 7th matchday competition, and finally the 8th seed Mark Williams continued to perform strongly, two games of wild 10 shots broke 110 50+, the second round of 10-3 swept 00 after the dark horse Jackson Page, the first to advance to the top 8, it should be pointed out that Crucible's single hundred record is Hendry's 16! In addition, mainland Player Zhao Xintong fell behind qualifier Stephen Maguire in two stages 5-11, Mark Allen fell behind the championship favourites Robbie O'Sullivan 4-12 in the two stages, Zhao Xintong and Allen were almost hopeless to advance, and the latter both listened to the cards.
Therefore, the top 8 of this World Championship have already determined 1 seat and framed 3 seats. Because The promotion of Maguire and O'Sullivan is almost a foregone conclusion, Zhao Xintong needs to fight Maguire at least 8-1 in stage 3 to turn over, while Allen needs to fight back against the Rockets 9-0 in stage 3 to achieve a reversal, such an operation is almost difficult to succeed for the two players who are already on the weak side. Zhao Xintong updated the dynamics on his personal social platform for the first time after the 2nd stage of the match, and teased himself that he said, "You can let go and fight!" ”
Another round of the first stage of the game, the mainland player Yan Bingtao showed tenacity, patience and defending champions to perform a defensive battle, the defensive end did not fall behind, but slightly behind in the offensive end, the first leg blasted out a shot to break the 1004-4 temporarily draw Mark Selby, at least invincible before the start of the 2nd stage, hoping that Yan Bingtao continued the good momentum in the 2nd stage, the 2nd stage dragged Selby 3rd stage to complete the counterattack, it is worth mentioning that the first 8 innings of this game took nearly 4 hours, The average single round takes around 27 minutes. According to the schedule, Zhao Xintong's match will be decided at 17:00 Beijing time on April 23, Yan Bingtao's second stage will start in the same period, and the third stage will be carried out at 2:00 a.m. the next day, so please pay attention to it, when the "Inverted Sword Flower" will be reported in time.
