The World Championship and the single-shot 147 are undoubtedly two of the most valuable achievements in snooker, and too many players may not be able to complete one of them in their entire careers, but one of them was achieved in a game that ended in the early morning.
In the round of sixteen of the 2022 World Snooker Championship, Neil Robertson blasted the first full score (151 points) in the 19th round of the World Championships against Jack Lisowski, which was also the fifth time in Neil Robertson's career to score 147.
However, it is a pity that after completing the single 147, Lisovsky also personally broke Robertson's dream of reaching the world championship, winning two consecutive sets in two consecutive sets with Robertson taking the lead to reach the match point and finally achieving a thrilling 13-12 promotion to the quarterfinals.
Robertson played a very good 2-0 lead in the first stage of the match, and then Lisowski was in a hot state to chase four consecutive sets to win 4-2, and then the powerful Robertson showed his terrifying strength to continuously blast a good tuba over 100 to enter the second stage with a 4-4 score.
In the second stage, Lisovsky was obviously hotter than Robertson, and he started by firing two shots over 100 to establish a lead, and then the two came and went, but Lisovsky always maintained the advantage of two sets to enter the third stage 9-7.
The decisive stage is also the moment when Robertson made history, and when the game went to the nineteenth inning, Robertson completed an unparalleled 147 performance under great pressure, and the moment he scored the black ball, Robertson also released his excitement with open arms.
Unfortunately, Robertson, who completed a single shot of 147, was ruthlessly reversed by Lissovsky when he reached the match point first, and finally 13-12 was also a stop in the round of 16 and did not have the opportunity to compete for the world championship trophy, becoming a "tragic hero" without compromise.
Even so, Robertson set many records, not only did he complete his fifth 147 but also became the 176th in the snooker 147 record list, the eighth player in Crucible to complete 147, and the first player to shoot a single 147 points in the main stage of the World Championships (Dort 147 in qualifying).
If there is no accident that Robertson will receive a full score of £40,000 and a single-shot top prize of fifteen thousand pounds (if no one plays another 147 will be tied with Dortmund), these additional rewards can also be regarded as some comfort to Robertson after his early exit.
Unfortunately, Robertson was out of the game at the same time, but also had to admit that Lisovsky was in hot form at this World Championship, facing the powerful Robertson throughout the stage was not in the inferior position and refused to become a "background board", and finally advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Championships and set a personal career world championship best.
