On the evening of January 8 (tonight), Beijing time, the 2023-2024 World Snooker Tour Masters will start the second match day of competition, with two more matches in the first round, and the format is still 11 rounds and 6 wins. The Snooker Masters at the Alex Theatre at the Alex Hilton Hotel in London is one of the three major tournaments of snooker that is recognized as one of the three major tournaments of snooker, and unlike the other two tournaments (Evening Note: Snooker World Championship and Snooker UK Championship), this event is an invitational tournament in which only the top 16 players in the world are invited.
China Central Radio and Television continues to broadcast live through two major platforms. Because of the time conflict, in the national live broadcast on TV, CCTV chose to let the Snooker Masters make way for the CBA regular season Zhejiang men's basketball team's home game against Guangzhou men's basketball team, and the live broadcast was delayed from 22:20. CCTV (CCTV Sports Client CCTV5APP) and Migu Video are broadcast live on the Internet and mobile phones.
At 21 o'clock on the evening of January 8 (tonight) (evening pool note: all Beijing time), the third matchup of the first round of the Snooker Masters (one-eighth final) staged a focus battle, and the Chinese player Ding Junhui, who has entered the ranks of veterans, died because of the rapid recognition of Ronnie O'Sullivan as a rocket.
For well-known reasons, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong were banned, and Ding Junhui, as the leader of Chinese snooker players, once again took on the heavy responsibility. In 2011, Ding Junhui defeated Fu Jiajun from Hong Kong, China in the final of the Snooker Masters, becoming the first Chinese player to win the event. World No. 1 O'Sullivan can be called the first person in snooker history, with 22 snooker three major championship titles and 7 snooker masters championships. This is the 34th meeting between the two and the third in 15 days. In the Snooker Masters, the two have played each other 5 times, and O'Sullivan has the last laugh.
In the final of last year's Snooker British Championship, Ding Junhui lost to O'Sullivan. In the Lhasa exhibition match on New Year's Day 2024, Ding Junhui won 5 games in a row and defeated O'Sullivan 6-5. In this matchup, Ding Junhui strives to end the history of 5 consecutive defeats, but it is difficult.
At 3 o'clock in the early morning of January 9 (tomorrow morning), the fourth match of the first round of the Snooker Masters, Mark Williams, known as the golden left hand, played against Ali Carter.
In the first two matchups, Jack Lisowski eliminated Luca Brecel, nicknamed the Belgian bullets, 6-2 in the opening match to advance to the second round (quarterfinals). China's Zhang Anda, who participated in the competition for the first time, lost 2-6 to Grand Slam player Shaun Murphy, nicknamed Magician, and missed the quarterfinals.
Can Ding Junhui surprise us? Let's wait and see!
