On April 25, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship ended the 9th day of the main competition, Higgins and Trump established a large lead, is expected to successfully advance to the quarterfinals. The other two world champions, Neil Robertson and Bingham, are in a bitter battle, and Neil Robertson is 7-9 behind and is afraid to be eliminated by Lissovsky. Bingham failed to extend the strength of the first stage, and was equalized by Karen Wilson.
With four places left in the quarter-finals of the World Championships, four world champions are scrambling to qualify, but they face different situations. At the end of the first two stages, Higgins led Sankham 11-5 and Trump led Anthony McGill 10-6. In the game, Higgins's competitive state has clearly recovered, and although Trump has achieved a good lead, his offensive quality is still very average, and he only shot 2 shots of 50+ in the second stage, which can only say that his opponent played worse.
Not surprisingly, Higgins and Trump can successfully advance to the quarterfinals, and for Trump, if he can't improve his competitive status next, even if he advances to the quarterfinals, it will be difficult to impact the championship. So far, at least, Trump has failed to show the style of world champions and title favourites.
The other two world champions were in a bitter fight, with Neil Robertson shooting a 3-50+ in the second stage, his opponent Lisovsky shooting a 3-shot breaker, and Neil Robertson temporarily trailing 7-9 and facing an exit. Compared to before, Lisovsky has indeed improved significantly, and his stability has greatly improved, which is also his strength to impact the quarterfinals, although the opponent is Neil Robertson, but Lisovsky looks confident.
Veteran Bingham led 5-3 in the first stage, but in the second stage, his form dropped significantly, and his opponent Karen Wilson showed the ability to fight hard. After eliminating Ding Junhui in the first round, No. 5 seed Karen Wilson released the pressure and felt more confident in himself, because facing Ding Junhui was also a reversal after falling behind in the first stage. In the game, Karen Wilson once hit 147, but unfortunately failed, but he still tied the score with a single shot of 96 points.
Although the score was 8-8 and the two were still at the same running line, Karen Wilson rose fiercely and Bingham was a little weak. Karen Wilson is younger and more comfortable with long-term innings, while Bingham, as a veteran, has shown fatigue by this war of attrition, which has caused him to make frequent mistakes. So, the balance of victory slowly tipped in karen Wilson's direction!
