Yan Bingtao will compete with Mark Williams for the final four places, Yan Bingtao eliminated the defending champion Selby in the last round of the game, the morale is currently high, in the third round of the game Yan Bingtao should play more confidently. Mark Williams is by far the best offensive player, the first two rounds of the game he blasted 10 shots to break the hundred, the offensively known O'Sullivan only shot five shots to break the hundred, but this has something to do with Mark Williams' opponents in the first two rounds of the game is not strong, Mark Williams in the first two rounds of opponents are qualifiers, but in any case, Mark Williams is currently in good shape is also a fact.
Yan Bingtao and Mark Williams have lost more than they won in the previous meeting, and overall they are slightly inferior, the two have met once in the long-term format, and Yan Bingtao lost to Mark Williams 8:9 in the final of the Northern Ireland Open a few years ago. The two will play the first two stages of the game in today's game, which is not to be lost for Yan Bingtao, and once the score is behind, it will be difficult to chase again. Judging from Yan Bingtao's playing style and current state, he still has a lot of chances to win the game against world champion Mark Williams, mainly depending on the on-field play.
Neil Robertson out, O'Sullivan became the number one favorite to win the World Championships, his second round opponent is qualifier Maguire, Maguire in the first two rounds of the game in a row to eliminate the big seeded players Sean Murphy and Zhao Xintong, the current self-confidence is bursting, but in the previous record with O'Sullivan, Maguire is still in the ascendant, this time again he is still a "weak" side. Six-time World Championship champion O'Sullivan's goal is to win the championship for the seventh time, thus equaling the "Emperor of Billiards" Hendry's seven world championship records, with the two "bitter lords" Neil Robertson and Selby both out, O'Sullivan ushered in the best chance to win the championship, depending on whether he can seize this historical opportunity, after all, as he gets older, the chance of winning the World Championship again will be less and less, and the game against Maguire is a must for O'Sullivan, but Maguire is not idle, O'Sullivan, though superior, also had to be prepared for difficulties.
Trump, the No. 4 seed, competed with world champion Bingham for a place in the semifinals, with the two eliminating the powerful McGill and Karen Wilson in the last round, and this match will be a match between the two. Although Trump is the second favorite to win the championship in this competition, but so far he has not found the best state, the first two games Trump only played two shots to break the hundred, is the fewest of the eight players, which is inconsistent with his proud offensive firepower, which also shows that Trump's current offensive state has not reached the best, it is not valuable that even if the state is not good, but it can still break through continuously, which is the most terrible.
However, as the game deepens, the opponent becomes stronger and stronger, and Trump must adjust his state as soon as possible, and cannot hope that the opponent is in worse shape every round of the game. Bingham has always been stable in the World Championships, reaching the final four last year, and his opponent in this tournament is Trump, although the record of the confrontation is inferior, but this does not mean that Bingham does not have a chance, on the contrary, if Trump continues his previous state, Bingham's hope of winning is very great.
Four-time World Championship winner Higgins faced the last player of the "91 Three Masters" Lisovsky, Lisovsky eliminated the top champion Neil Robertson in the last round of the game, the morale is currently high, and in the match with Higgins, Lisovsky can completely let go. Higgins has reached the final of the World Championship eight times, but there are several times in the final, the last three finals are three consecutive defeats, his world champion is therefore inferior to O'Sullivan, this world championship Higgins also ushered in a good opportunity to win the championship, if you can pass Lisovsky's level, the semi-final whether the opponent is O'Sullivan or Maguire, Higgins has a certain advantage, this World Championship is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Higgins. However, the game with Lisovsky Higgins can not be careless, the latter is very powerful, once "crazy", Higgins is probably not his opponent, the "wizard" must be prepared for difficulties.
