On January 11, Beijing time, the 2024 Snooker Masters continued.
Schedule [The following is the 1/4 finals, 6 wins in 11 games]
21:00 Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Barry Hawkins
As the first person in history and a seven-lap Grand Slam winner, the Rocket has made a leap forward this season and won the British Championship again! According to his friend Jimmy White, the uncrowned king of the Grand Slam, he will hit the eight or even 10 laps of the Grand Slam! And O'Sullivan rarely posted a dynamic on social media, "8, 8, 8, let's come on!" The meaning is self-evident.
O'Sullivan has withdrawn from 6 tournaments this season due to health reasons (Champions League, European Masters, British Open, Northern Ireland Open, Champion of Champions and Scottish Open), but he won the Shanghai Masters (Invitational) and British Championships (ranking tournament), the National Championship reached the semifinals, and is still firmly ranked first in the world, although Trump was once only 21,000 Premier League behind, and is currently 100,000+, which shows his terrifying dominance. O'Sullivan met Ding Junhui again, and the two sides achieved a historic moment, and the Rockets won 6-3. Ding Junhui scored a single stroke of 147 for the first time in nearly 8 years, becoming the only player in the Masters to score two single strokes of 147, and the seventh stroke in his career, ranking 7th in history.
Robertson, the winner of Hawkins' 6-3 single-lap Grand Slam, Robertson, who ended his 17-year streak of at least one title last year, struggled in the ninth game and tried to revive when he was overscored by 2 to 5 points, and finally had no choice but to be beaten by Hawkins with the last red ball to win.
3:00 a.m. Shaun Murphy vs. Jack Lisowski
Murphy 6-2 New Science National Championship champion, ranked third in the season, and Zhang Anda, the 95th rookie in the 48-year history of the Masters, played 5 single-stroke 50+ strokes in the whole game, and did not break 100.
World No. 16 Lisowski 6-2 new World Championship champion, the first person born in the 90s, and the world's fourth Luca Blaissel, played 6 single-stroke 60+ strokes in the whole game, creating the biggest upset in the tournament.
Friday, January 12: 21:00 Judd Trump vs Ali Carter
The winner of the three-time ranking tournament in the season, almost locked the winner of the 150,000 pounds extra bonus in the local series, ranked first in the season, and the world's second Trump was almost out, and in the deciding game, Kyren Wilson scored 51 points in a single stroke to take a 55-0 lead, and the red ball was left in the middle pocket, and there was just one of the easiest hitting routes! Trump received the gift and scored 65 points in a single stroke to win with one shot, achieving a five-in-a-row reversal under 1-3 behind. The defending champions are trying to replicate last year's winning streak!
Carter fell behind three times and equalized three times, and hit five single-stroke 60+ shots in the whole game, including two consecutive single-stroke breaks 100, and reversed the double-lap Grand Slam winner Mark Williams 6-4.
3:00 the next day Mark Selby vs Mark Allen
The new champion of the crown and the world's No. 5 Allen staged the magical operation of three libraries to turn over the bag and fight for the black tiebreaker, but fell behind 1-3 in the first four games, and the maximum score in a single stroke was 25 points! However, after halftime, he rebounded strongly and took the lead in four consecutive games to get the match point 5-3, Higgins played a single stroke of 60+ in two consecutive games to drag to the decisive game, but Allen scored 86 points in a single stroke to win the clean sheet, and advanced to the quarterfinals 6-5.
Selby created the most disparity in the score of this Masters, four consecutive whips in the opening game, five single-stroke 50+ in the whole game, and the only single-stroke break 119 points in the second game, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. World No. 14 Milkins scored 88 points in a single stroke after falling behind 0-45 in the fifth game to win the game and achieve a single-game reversal.
