The 2023 to 2024 season of the Snooker Professional League ushered in the semi-finals, on November 10, 2023, Beijing time, the list of the top four of the Snooker National Championship was all produced, Tom Ford and Jordan Brown were a little surprised to advance, and Ding Junhui also failed to break through, which is also unexpected!
Tomford faced Barry Hawkins, the seeded player, to secure a place in the semi-finals. This is also the first time Tom Ford has come to the top four this season, and he also has the opportunity to reach the final for the third time in his career, in addition, Jordan Brown faced Maguire, who had performed very well in the first three rounds of the game, also played a decisive game, and Ali Carter had a chance to advance The result was still in the last two games, Ali Carter was 3-24 against O'Sullivan before, and the record of the two people was a little one-sided, Ali Carter seemed to have a big shadow every time he met O'Sullivan, However, Ali Carter won the German Masters last season, and he is forging ahead, this time he set off again in the National Championships, looking forward to fighting for the top four of the National Championships, but Ali Carter is not without a chance in this game, the two sides come and go, Ali Carter is not in a hurry when he is behind, in the first eight rounds of the game, and the opponent is even more daring to fight, and the two of them have reached a 4-4 draw, quite anxious! Just when people thought it was going to be a tiebreaker again! As a result, Ali Carter's last two games were powered off!
Ali Carter finally lost 4-6, this is the 25th time in Ali Carter's career to O'Sullivan, the two people's record was rewritten to 3 wins and 25 losses, O'Sullivan is still Ali Carter's insurmountable level, Ali Carter shed tears on the field after the game, always losing to O'Sullivan. Ali Carter is difficult to accept such a result, unwilling, Ali Carter has also been so close to the World Championship championship but so far away, two World Championship finals were lost to O'Sullivan, maybe only Jimmy White knows Ali Carter best, before he won the World Championships runner-up 6 times, Ali Carter with regret will prepare for the championship next, looking forward to better performance!
