In this much-anticipated snooker feast, two legendary players Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan once again staged an unforgettable duel. However, the result made the fans both happy and embarrassed.
O'Sullivan was in great form, winning 6-3
In the game, O'Sullivan showed his extraordinary state, relying on a wave of super hot hands of 67, 87, 106, 127, and 93 in a single stroke, and finally defeated Ding Junhui 6-3. This game became O'Sullivan's fifth consecutive victory over Ding Junhui, and it is a pity that Ding Junhui suffered 5 consecutive defeats in the Masters.

However, in the defeat, Ding Junhui did not disappoint the fans. In the 7th game, Ding Junhui seized the opportunity to score a perfect score of 147, and completed this feat at the Masters again after nearly 8 years. This 147 is also the 4th perfect score in the history of the Masters, Ding Junhui became the player with two shots, and it is also the 6th shot of the season and the 195th single stroke 147 in history.
Two legends, the glorious history behind them
Looking back on the careers of Ding Junhui and O'Sullivan, people can't help but sigh.

And O'Sullivan has been the leader of world snooker with many records such as 22 major championships and 7 Masters championships.
Time has passed, and O'Sullivan is enchanting
With the passage of time, O'Sullivan not only did not decline, but became more and more enchanting. Fresh from winning the British Championships, he was in great form in this match, and was almost unbeatable against Ding Junhui. This also led to Ding Junhui's four-year championship drought in ranking tournaments.

Before the game, Ding Junhui's appearance ceremony was eye-catching. The music turned out to be "Dragon Fist", which cleverly showed the coincidence of Ding Junhui's birth in the Year of the Dragon. This detail gives fans a sense of British respect for Chinese culture and adds a touch of mystery to the game.
After the fierce battle: Ding Junhui 147 pays tribute to O'Sullivan
During the game, Ding Junhui's condition was relatively poor, and white ball control and mistakes were common. However, in the 7th game, Ding Junhui scored a perfect score of 147, which was undoubtedly the icing on the cake for the game. This 147 is a perfect score for the seventh stroke of his career, and it is also a tribute to O'Sullivan.
Endgame: O'Sullivan advanced to the quarterfinals 6-3
In the eighth game, O'Sullivan scored 127 points in a single stroke to take the lead in getting the match point, and in the ninth game, he scored 93 points in a single stroke again to lock in the game.
