On April 28, 2022, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship ended the 12th matchday competition, and the final four were officially released. In the first half, Mark Williams and Trump compete for a place in the final, while in the second half Higgins play O'Sullivan. 75 Sanjie joined hands to advance to the final four and encircle Trump.
At this World Championship, O'Sullivan, Higgins and Mark Williams joined hands to advance to the quarterfinals, and although they are older, the three of them still maintain a good competitive state and are still the favorite players to win the championship on this stage. Mark Williams was in the top half, he and Yan Bingtao played 24 sets, with a wonderful play in the last minute, Mark Williams eliminated Yan Bingtao 13-11 to advance to the semi-finals of the World Championship for the seventh time.
Mark Williams will play against trump, the representative of the post-80s in the semi-finals, the No. 4 seed Trump is in a very general state, and even in some moments it is particularly sluggish, his 1/4 final with Bingham can be described as a twist and turn, Trump led 5-3 in the first stage, but lost five consecutive sets in the second stage, once 5-8 behind. Fortunately, Trum regained his touch when he popularized, and won three consecutive sets in the final moments of the second stage, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
I thought the two would have a fierce battle in the third stage, but I didn't expect Bingham to suddenly fall into a slump, and Trump's offense improved, playing a single shot of 78, 73, 59 points, he won five consecutive sets in the third stage, eliminating Bingham 13-8. In other words, Trump won 8 consecutive sets in a 5-8 situation, although the state was not good, the quality of the game was very average, but Trump was able to win, so he advanced to the final four.
In the second half, O'Sullivan won the easiest, he did not expend too much physical strength, he eliminated Stephen Maguire 13-5 to reach the final four of the World Championship for the 13th time. In three consecutive matches, O'Sullivan won by a huge margin, eliminating David Gilbert, Mark Allen and Stephen Maguire, all of whom were powerful players but appeared vulnerable in front of O'Sullivan.
O'Sullivan will play Higgins in the semi-finals, and the final quarter-final is Lisovsky vs Higgins, the two sides have fought a war of attrition, Lissovsky has indeed improved significantly, and the elimination of Neil Robertson has given him a lot of confidence. Throughout the game, Lisovsky struggled to catch up, and ended the second stage only 7-8 behind. By the third stage, Higgins had two sets of lead twice, but the first to get the match point was Lisovsky, who completed the comeback in a rather passive situation, taking the match point 12-11.
In the final moments, Higgins hit a single shot under heavy pressure to break the hundred, dragging the game into the decider. Lisovsky took the lead in the decider, but lost the not too difficult red ball, Higgins then got started, directly completed the super point, 13-12 narrow victory over Sowski, to advance to the final four. In this case, the 75 three masters all advance to the final four, trump will challenge the 75 three masters alone in the next game, let us wait and see!
