On April 25, 2022, the second round of the Snooker World Championship ended with two focus battles, and finally wizard Higgins went back, sweeping Thai player San kam 13-7 on aggregate, and Wilson, who eliminated Ding Junhui in the first round, was in poor form and lost to world champion Bingham 9-13. So far, six places have been decided in the quarter-finals of this World Championship, they are: Yan Bingtao, Williams, Bingham, Higgins, Maguire and O'Sullivan, the remaining two places will be between McGill, Trump, Robertson and Lisowski, currently Trump leads McGill 10-6 in the two stages, robertson two stages 7-9 behind the driver.
It is worth noting that the 75 three masters of this World Championship have all reached the top 8, and the last time such a grand situation appeared was in 2011, when all three legends reached the top 8 and finally Higgins won the championship. In the entire history of the World Championships, this situation has only happened 3 times, and two times were from 1998 to 1999, when the 75 three masters all reached the final four, and the final two champions were Higgins and Hendry. In addition, since 1994, at least one member of the 75 Sanjie will appear in the quarterfinals of each World Championship, a record that has been maintained for 28 years, which makes fans lament the long-term prosperity of the 75 Sanjie.
In addition, there is another post-70s player Bingham in the top 8, and it is certain that the post-70s of this World Championship occupy 50% of the seats. After Wilson's exit, the post-90s players are currently only the little driver and McGill, McGill is 6-10 behind, the promotion situation is not optimistic, if the small driver is eventually reversed by Robertson, then the post-90s are likely to be completely wiped out. In addition, one player after the 80s and 00s has been promoted, namely Maguire and Yan Bingtao. Hopefully, McGill and the little driver will next defend the dignity of the post-90s generation, because this era should belong to them.
