In the early morning of April 26, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship broke out of the big cold! Former tournament champion and No. 3 seed Neil Robertson was killed by world no. 14 Lisovsky 12-13 and missed the quarterfinals. Robertson also became another super favorite after Selby who missed the top 8. Of course, Robertson's first shot of 147 in Crucible was not worth the trip.
Robertson was in hot form before coming to the World Championships, having just finished the biggest reversal in snooker history with a 4-9 deficit in the Tour Championship final, beating Higgins 10-4 to win the title. As a result, the World Championships officials once listed Robertson as the top pick to win the tournament. Although Lisovsky's strength is also not bad, compared with the Big Four, it is still slightly less hot.
However, in the first two stages of this game, Lisovsky put a lot of pressure on Robertson. In the first stage, although Robertson blasted a 2-stroke 100 and a 2-shot 60+, Lisovsky won four consecutive sets and the two sides tied 4. In the second stage, Lisovsky blasted a 3-stroke break to end the first two stages with a 9-7 lead. In the second round, no player was able to turn the tables behind in the first two stages, which also created a big problem for Robertson.
In the third stage, Lissovsky won the first set 66-15. In the 18th set, Robertson narrowly won 60-58. In the 19th set, Robertson blasted the first 147 at the World Championships! It was also his first World Championship 147 and Crucible's 12th 147. Robertson cheered, and then morale soared to win two more sets to win 11-10.
In the 22nd inning, Lisovsky scored 88 points to bring back the first set, 11 draws. In the 23rd set, Robertson won 57-43 after the battle to get the match point. In the 24th set, Lisovsky scored a 72-point reversal and the two sides advanced to the decider. In the 25th set, Lisovsky took the advantage, and finally won 61-18, killing Robertson to advance to the quarterfinals, and Lisovsky also excitedly shook his fist to celebrate.
