At this World Championship, No.3 Robertson is a highly optimistic favorite player to win the championship, once at the top of the championship list, although O'Sullivan bucked the trend to catch up with him later, but almost no fans doubted Robertson's strength, he can still bring confidence to fans.
But against Lissovsky, the result of the game was not biased towards Robertson, so that many fans were surprised, in the historical record, Robertson 10 wins and 1 loss occupied an absolute advantage, but after the first two stages of the competition, Robertson felt slightly inferior, Lisovsky in the second stage after the opening of the three shots (122 points and 119 points, 137 points), and finally forced Robertson two sets, 9-7 prevailed.
Although there is still a chance to reverse the result, but the pressure came to Robertson's side, he wants to avoid the upset is not easy, at present, the first two stages of the world championships behind the players are all eliminated, Robertson may be difficult to break the "must lose curse".
Trump and Higgins played steadily and maintained a high standard as usual, with fourth seed Trump playing against 13th seed McGill, the two each shot a 100+ in the first stage, and finally tied 4-4, and in the second stage Trump won three consecutive games to control the initiative on the field, after which the score was fixed at 10-6.
