On April 26, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championships gave birth to the first stroke of the tournament with a full score of 147. Melbourne Machine Neil Robertson blasted the perfect single-shot 147 in the 19th set against Lissovsky! It was also robertson's first career 147 at Crucible, his 5th 147, his 12th 147 in Crucible history, and the 8th player to play 147 at Crucible. Robertson will receive a £40,000 full-point bonus, in addition to a maximum prize of £15,000 equal to Dortmund. Unfortunately, Robertson was eventually eliminated.
The match between Robertson and Lissovsky was brilliant, with Lissovsky leading 9-7 in the first two stages and winning another set in the third. But Robertson then pulled back a set, and in the 19th Robertson blasted the 147 perfect score. In this game, Robertson's face of the ball is not simple after getting started, but he finally stripped away the cocoon with many perfect K-balls and exploded with 147 perfect points.
After scoring the last black ball, Robertson raised his arms and cheered. The audience also stood up and applauded, giving the 147 players the warmest applause. Striking a single stroke of 147 at the World Championships is a more difficult task than winning the World Championships, and is also considered a higher achievement than winning the World Championships. Counting Robertson's 147, Crucible has only had a 12-stroke perfect score in its history.
As a result, Robertson also joined Cliff Samborn, Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Williams, Ali Carter, John Higgins, becoming the eighth player in Crucesburg history to blast a perfect score. Unfortunately, Robertson won four consecutive sets and once held two match points at one point, and finally suffered a 12-13 out.
Of course, this 147 will also bring great comfort to Robertson, but it will also have a lot of benefits. He can get a £40,000 prize money of 147 in a single stroke at the World Championships. In addition, if no other players hit 147 next, he will be able to share the top score of £15,000 with Dortmund, who has previously scored a perfect score of 147 in qualifying.
