On the morning of April 28, Beijing time, the semi-finalist list of the Snooker World Championship was confirmed, and O'Sullivan, Trump, Higgins and Mark Williams will compete for a three-day final ticket on the 28th-30th. Mainland youngster Yan Bingtao lost 13-11 to Mark Williams and regrettably stopped in the quarterfinals. In the post-match interview, Yan Bingtao was in poor shape and had been coughing.
It is reported that from the very beginning of the game against Wakelin, Yan Bingtao was completely speechless because of his hoarse voice on the fire. Today in the game, I have also been taking cough medicine, as far as possible to control myself not to affect the state. Yan Bingtao said that he was quite satisfied with his performance today, and for the mistake when leading 11-10, Yan Bingtao said: "After leading 11-10, I had the opportunity to take the lead to the match point, but I made a mistake. Could have been ahead, didn't control the white ball well, made a mistake. The opponent is a very top player and will not give me much respite. So after I failed to take the opportunity that time, I lost the next game. ”
"Although I lost today's game, I am still quite satisfied with myself today, and I really feel that my form has improved. I'm still very proud of myself, because I've been sick for the past few days, from the beginning of the game against Wakelin, I can't speak, and to today's game, I'm also taking cough medicine. Then for these four or five days I could only rest for four or five hours almost every night, in a state of poor sleep quality. I'm very proud of myself, I've been able to do my best in the game, and I feel like I've done my best to do whatever it takes. ”
"The biggest takeaway is, enjoy this game. There are not many opportunities to play against a top player in Crucible, so just relax and enjoy the game. After this time, my most real feeling is that if you want to win the World Championships, there are too many places to improve. Because I watched the back of the schedule, it was almost a continuous fight. I'm only in the quarterfinals now, and I feel like I'm already a little exhausted. So I can't even think about what it would be like if I hit the back in my current state. So if you want to win the championship at Crucible, there is still a lot to do, and I am still far behind. ”
