The 2023-2024 season of the snooker league continues, on February 15, 2024, Beijing time, the top 16 of the Snooker Welsh Open will be in full swing, and some of the top 32 of the Welsh Open have been produced and some players will prepare for the top 16 competition!
There are also several strong dialogues in the competition for the round of 16, first Higgins vs. Ryan Day, Ryan Day is far away from the top 16 in the world this season, and the withdrawal of Trump and O'Sullivan at this Welsh Open is also for him to impact the championship of the ranking tournament and see some hope, and John Higgins played in the Champions League games in a row before the Welsh Open, and Ryan Day is a little tired and Ryan Day, in this case, it is expected to wait for work and take the lead to win the opponent. In addition, Neil Robertson's form this season has been relatively sluggish, but with his performance at the last German Masters, he has improved a little, but this time. Wales was blocked by a strong opponent in the round of 16, and the opponent was the famous Rich Wharton, who had won some ranking tournaments before, and had a lot of experience, and his form in recent seasons was relatively stable, and he still had the ability to eat his opponent in the face of Neil Rosun. Robertson is not optimistic about reaching the last 16 of the Welsh Open.
In addition, the opponent of the post-90s player McGill is the post-70s, and the veteran Mark Williams is also capable of putting on a good show in this game. Shi Jiahui's opponent is Mark Allen, and Mark Allen defeated two Chinese players in a row in this competition, Cao Yupeng and Ma Hailong, while Si Jiahui, as the third Chinese player in a row against Mark Allen, is difficult to advance. It is difficult for Si Jiahui to win the wheel battle of such a Chinese snooker player. In addition, Lisowski's opponent is Gary Wilson, the winner of this season's Scottish Open. Lisowski has also finished runner-up six times in his career, and Gary Wilson has won two Scottish Open titles in his career. However, Lisowski is still more than capable of reaching the last 16.
Defending champion Milkins doesn't have many days either, and his opponent is David Gilbert, who has also won a ranking tournament before. In addition, Robbie Williams is also stronger after the elimination, Ding Junhui is also stronger in his heart, facing Adam Duffy, who is likely to further enter the round of 16 of the Welsh Open and continue to advance to the first championship of his career. In addition, former India Open champion Selt will face Duane Jones for a ticket to the last 16 of the tournament. And Chinese snooker players may only have five players in this competition to break into the top 32 at most.
