On April 25, the 2022 World Snooker Championships will enter the 10th matchday competition, the last four matches of the second round will enter the decisive moment of the third stage, and the last four places in the quarterfinals will be born in two slots. Relatively speaking, Trump and Higgins are currently leading by a large score, and it is not surprising that they can basically ensure promotion, while the biggest champion Robertson is unexpectedly behind Lissovsky 7-9 and may be upset; Wilson and Bingham continue to draw in two stages, and finally will fight in the third stage to divide the victory and defeat.
At 8:00 p.m. Beijing time on April 25:
Wilson 8-8 Bingham (Phase III)
Sankam 5-11 Higgins (Phase III)
The duel between Wilson and Bingham has been very sticky since the first stage, although Wilson and the first round of the match against Ding Junhui are similar, falling behind 1-4 at the beginning, but then he won three consecutive sets to tie 4-4 to end the first stage. In the second stage, Wilson played relatively better and had a stronger one-shot winning ability, but Bingham also showed the thickness of his world championship, with a hundred moments and a tight grip on the score, and the two continued to draw 8-8. This means that the third stage will be a 5-win battle in 9 sets.
Facing Thai players consecutively, the pressure is not too much for the four-time champion Higgins, although the first stage was tightly bitten by the world's 38th-ranked Sankam, 4-4 draw, but Higgins's rampage in the second stage was a complete defeat of thailand's dark horse. A wave of "seven whips" of good play, so that the suspense of the game is basically lost, if it is not Sankam to withstand the pressure to win the final set, I am afraid that the second stage he will be clean sheeted. But with an 11-5 score, Higgins had basically locked up the victory in advance, and the quarterfinals were just around the corner.
At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 26:
McGill 6-10 Trump (Phase III)
Robertson 7-9 Lisowski (Phase III)
As one of the favourites to win the title, Trump, faced the impact of Scots McGill, he did not seem to be too adaptable in the first stage, and was bitten by the opponent, also a 4-4 draw. But after entering the second stage, the balance of the scene was broken, and Trump opened up the point difference with a wave of consecutive wins, 10-6, basically allowing him to continue to work in the third stage without too much pressure, and the victory was basically in sight.
For Robertson, the biggest favourite, the two stages were played and did not achieve the form and results he wanted, and trailing Lisovsky 7-9 could only make him more focused and hard-working in the third stage. If Robertson can't maintain stability on the offensive end, he may be broken by the continued strong counterattack of opponent Lisovsky. And this game will become the most suspenseful game of the day.
