Higgins 4-3 Milkins
The Grand Slam winner is currently ranked 74th this season, the lowest of all the top 16, and if he can reach the final, he will lock in front of the World Grand Prix, which is still difficult with his current competitive form.
The two sides have met five times, with Higgins winning them all, most recently 4-1 at the 2022 Northern Ireland Open. In this matchup, Higgins once trailed 1-3, hitting three consecutive single 50+ shots, and winning three consecutive rounds to reverse the game.
Allen 4-3 Ding Junhui
Mark Allen reversed Ding Junhui for the second time after the British Championship, I have to say that the backward Allen played really well, accurate and thoughtful, coupled with the blessing of the luck balloon, the director's tiebreaker defense and thin ball mistakes directly handed over the good situation of 3-1, which is still a pity.
The two sides have met six times, with Ding Junhui winning 4 and losing both short-game games, with Allen winning his first British Championship last time 10-7 and currently ranking first in the season and fifth in the world. In this matchup, Ding Junhui once led 3-1, and in the second game, he scored a single 122 points to win. It was also the highest single score of the game, the only individual to shoot 50+, Allen shot three consecutive single 50+, and scored a clean sheet in the tiebreaker to win, and a wave of three consecutive whips reversed to win.
Selby 4-1 Wu Yize
Selby lost to new professional Peng Yisong in the German Masters qualifiers, this time without Waterloo, and the runner-up of the last round 4-2, the big dark horse O'Connor.
