On April 24, 2022, the Snooker World Championship continued, the No. 4 seed Trump appeared, and then the 13th seed McGill competed for a place in the quarterfinals, the first eight sets ended, Trump fell behind 1-3 to win three consecutive sets, McGill stopped the loss in time, the two sides won four sets each to a draw, then who can continue to move forward, or depends on the situation of the second stage of the game.
Trump ranked 4th in the world, has won the ranking championship 23 times in his career, is a Grand Slam player, once defeated Higgins to win the world championship, this season Trump athletic state is average, three times into the final to win 2 championships and 1 sub, it is worth mentioning that the current Trump is more comprehensive, although the feel is not good, but can win the game, worth learning from young players.
McGill is ranked 13th in the world and has only two ranking titles in his career, with the world championship best being the semi-final four, when the decider was defeated by Karen. Wilson, last year McGill eliminated O'Sullivan to advance, the two have met 9 times in their careers, Trump is 8 wins and 1 loss, occupying an absolute advantage, but in the long game system is still the first time, Trump wants to advance to the quarterfinals is not easy.
Only eight innings were played in the first stage, at first Trump and McGill were not in shape, there were simple mistakes, multiple interruptions in the attack, Trump's ability to score consecutive points seriously declined, it was getting harder and harder to play a single shot of 50+, McGill took the lead 66-36 in the first set, Trump started multiple times in the second set, played 63-47 to win the fight, and in the third set McGill seized the opportunity to win 70-48.
Immediately after McGill's state rebounded, blasted out a single shot 129 points to complete the clearance, took a 3-1 lead, entered the halftime, both sides need time to adjust, the fifth set Trump is not willing to show weakness, blasted out a single shot 103 points also in color, the sixth set Trump won another set 64-36, although not in the best state, But Trump is full of resilience, putting pressure on McGill.
In the seventh set, Trump scored a single 36 points, walked less than turned into defense, and then Trump started again, played a single 44 points to complete the super point, won another round at 80-0, Trump bench success rate is not high, it is difficult to grasp the initiative of the game, McGill's accuracy is better, but there are too many simple mistakes, in the eighth set McGill played a single 68 points, and the two sides won four sets to a draw.
If Trump maintains the status quo and can't play a stronger performance, even if he beat McGill to advance, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to move forward, and now the most important thing to do is to improve the feel, reduce some simple mistakes, and achieve a single shot as much as possible.
