On April 27, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship entered the 12th match day, the final four are about to be released, O'Sullivan holds an 11-5 lead, it can be said that the promotion is in sight. Mark Williams was in a slump in form, he was reversed by Yan Bingtao with a 6-2 lead in the first stage, although the score was 8 draws, but the balance of victory began to tilt towards the young Yan Bingtao.
At this World Championship, the 75 three masters joined hands to advance to the quarterfinals, and they are of course the favorites to win the championship. O'Sullivan took the lead in upsetting the balance, facing the more average Strength Stephen Maguire, O'Sullivan led 6-2 in the first stage, and won five consecutive sets in the second stage, and currently leads Stephen Maguire 11-5. Not surprisingly, O'Sullivan will take the first place in the final four of this World Championship.
Yan Bingtao and Mark Williams match also ended the first two stages of the competition, Mark Williams in the first stage 6-2 lead, Yan Bingtao did not collapse like the previous Michael White, Jackson Page, he broke out strongly in the second stage, in return to a 6-2, in fact, Yan Bingtao once led 8-7, there is hope to end the first two stages 9-7, but unfortunately there was a little mistake in the end, so that the suspense of the game further increased.
However, youth is Yan Bingtao's advantage, he regained control of the rhythm of the game, give full play to his technical characteristics, and Mark Williams is difficult to play his own strengths, and Mark Williams's accuracy has dropped greatly, Yan Bingtao is expected to eliminate the championship favorite Mark Williams, so as to advance to the final four.
In the other two games, Trump temporarily led Bingham 5-3, Higgins led Lisowski 5-3, and Trump and Higgins took the initiative. Both the second and third stages of both matches will take place on Matchday 12, with a bit of a lot of testing for veterans Bingham and Higgins. 12th Matchday Schedule:
