On the morning of April 24, Beijing time, the snooker World Championship came with a battle report. Mainland china youngster Yan Bingtao eliminated Selby 13-10 to advance to the quarterfinals. The Rockets eliminated Mark Allen 13-4, and Trump drew 4 with McGill.
McGill and Selby played in the first stage, McGill shot a hundred and a 50+, and Little only had a one-shot hundred performance. The second stage of the match will take place tonight at 21:30, and the entire game will be broadcast live at CBSA World Snooker Academy (TikTok).
O'Sullivan scored 13-4 with an 8-50+ and a 2-shot break to advance to the quarter-finals. At the same time, it set a new record in snooker history: reaching the Crucible Quarter-Finals for the 20th time, breaking Hendry's record of 19 1/4 final appearances. However, Mr. Huo said that this record was meaningless, and for him the result of the game was only to win the championship or eliminate. O'Sullivan's next opponent is Maguire.
In a post-match interview, O'Sullivan said, "It's a very tough game, and in Crucible it's actually who has the big heart, the heart of a lion. There are also a lot of lion hearts among the qualifiers, such as Selby and Yan Bingtao that I saw today, Williams, Higgins, Robertson, Mark Allen and Karen Wilson, who have the potential to win the world championship.
I was also ready to play against them and come up with my highest level, as long as I could control myself to maintain my level and enjoy the game, of course, it was the icing on the cake. This game, like the Masters, was a very difficult game for me. I don't know why, but a lot of people should think the same way I do. Of course, you will play well when you come here, enjoy the game, and try to play as many rounds as possible. ”
When asked if williams and others who have advanced have put pressure on him, O'Sullivan said that I know that in the past 20 or 30 years, people like to compare me with Williams and Higgins, and we have also inspired each other to improve along the way, and deep down we must want to be more than who can persist in this line of work.
We are all silently encouraging each other and we are also invisibly helping each other to become stronger people. Now I think Williams is the strongest of the three of us, and he's hitting more determined and imposing now. I watch his game and he's as aggressive as a beast. I'm glad to see him like this, the blood and tears he put into Snooker, and I think that's what he deserves. ”
Hopefully, the Rockets will do better in the next game.
