The 2021-2022 World Snooker Championships entered its tenth matchday, which will produce the last four quarter-finals, in the first two second rounds of the third stage of the second round, four-time World Championship winner Higgins refused to be reversed, the first two stages of the game 11:5 Higgins in the third stage of the match to draw 2:2 with the opponent in the third stage of the match, the total score of 13:7 to beat Thailand's Sankham, the 16th time to reach the quarterfinals of the World Championships, surpassing Steve Davis and Jimmy White. Higgins became the fifth player to advance to the quarter-finals of the World Championships, after O'Sullivan, Maguire, Yan Bingtao and Mark Williams had successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. In the other game, Karen Wilson and Bingham, who drew 8-8 in the first two stages, fought in the final nine sets, and the result was that the third stage of the game unexpectedly showed a one-sided situation, and the No. 5 seed of the tournament unbelievably lost four consecutive sets, and the total score was 8:12 temporarily behind world champion Bingham, on the verge of being eliminated.
The "wizard" Higgins, who has reached the world championship final eight times and won the world championship four times, is against Thailand's famous Sankam in the second round, and Higgins defeated another Thai famous player, Tachaia, in the first round, and finally Higgins had a thrill to advance. Sankam beat seeded Brechel in the first round, and the match with Higgins Wasan kamm was obviously not optimistic, but Sankam was not obviously at a disadvantage against Higgins before, and the two sides won three times in seven meetings. This was also validated by the first-stage process between the two, with Sankam winning three straight sets to equalize while trailing 1-4. I thought that the two of them would still play a difficult game in the second stage, but I did not expect Higgins to suddenly exert his strength, he had the opportunity to play a wave of 8:0, but he did not seize the opportunity when he took the lead in the last set, but even so, the 7:1 score of the second stage of the game was enough for Higgins to secure a place in the quarterfinals.
Higgins came to the third stage with an 11:5 lead of six sets, and in the third stage higgins could advance to the quarterfinals with only two sets in the nine innings, and there was almost no suspense in advancing to the quarterfinals. However, the third stage of the game between the two sides is still more intense, the 17th game, the two sides rarely played a draw, and finally decided to win by competing for the black ball, after several back and forth switches Higgins seized the opportunity to score the black ball and won 70:63, the big score was 12:5 to get the match point, the trailing Sankam then let go, in the 18th game Sankam blasted a single 70 points after the clean sheet Higgins recovered a set, the 19th game, Sankam had the opportunity to hit the single par 147 points, Unfortunately, there was a mistake when hitting the last red ball, and finally hit a single shot of 112 points and then won a big score to chase it to 7:12, and in the 20th game, Higgins did not tangle with the opponent any longer, and after scoring 90 points, he kept a clean sheet of 130:0, defeated Sankam on aggregate 13:7, and advanced to the quarterfinals with his head held high.
Karen Wilson, the No. 5 seed and one of the "91 Three Masters", competed with world champion Bingham for a place in the quarter-finals, and both have been very stable in recent World Championships, Bingham reached the final four last year, while Karen Wilson reached the quarterfinals of the world championships for four consecutive years, and has also reached the top four many times this season, and has performed quite steadily. Karen Wilson has played decently so far, and his form is actually not very good, but even so, he defeated Ding Junhui in the first round of the game to advance.
Against Bingham, Karen Wilson did not perform well in the first stage, and although he trailed in two consecutive sets at the beginning of the game 1:4, he still ended the first stage with a 3:5 trail. In the second stage of the game, both sides won two sets in the first four sets, Karen Wilson suddenly went to power to win three consecutive sets when he was 5:8 behind, tenaciously chasing the score to 8:8, and the second stage of the game ended the two returned to the same running line. At the beginning of the third stage of the game, the 12th seed Bingham took the lead, and the 5th seed felt cold, Bingham unbelievably won 4 consecutive sets to get the match point at 12:8, the 21st game, Bingham, who had the opportunity to win directly, made a mistake in the fight for the last red ball, Karen Wilson reversed and won, saving a match point, but he is still 9:12 behind, and if he wants to reverse, he must win the last four games.
