At 4:38 a.m. on April 8, Beijing time, the ups and downs and thrilling 2024 Snooker Tour Championship decisive battle dissipated, and the dust settled.
Before the break in the first half of the game, Ma Wei continued the state of the first two rounds, played three shots of 60+, established a 3-1 lead, and came back from the break.
After a break in the afternoon, at six o'clock in the evening local time, the second period started, Mark Williams picked up the next club, and the quasi-god reappeared, hitting 112 and 104 points with two single strokes over 100, 99, 78, 54 points with three single-shot wins, and applied a bloody seven consecutive whips, even under seven cities, transformed into a reversal of the old prince, 3-5 behind, on the head of the first person in snooker history, completed the earth-shattering reversal of the ghosts and gods, and crushed Ronnie 10-5. O'Sullivan, who snatched the 2024 Snooker Tour Championship, chased the all-time record between the two sides to 14 wins, 3 draws and 34 losses.
In just two and a half hours, Huo Lao missed out on five records, becoming only the second player to win the Tour Championship twice, missing out on the 42nd victory of the 64th ranking final, missing out on the sixth title of the season for the second time in his career, and most regrettably, missing out on the 42nd ranking tournament and the 82nd professional tour title.
Ma Guilian came to the door with six joys, won the 1.5 million grand prize, won the second crown of the season, won the 26th crown of the career ranking tournament, and reached the top of the tour championship for the first time, adding double insurance for the qualification of the champion of the championship next season, and the latest world ranking climbed two places to surpass Ding Junhui and returned to the sixth place in the world.
Could it be that a Chinese eight-ball global finals that thought he was a dimensionality reduction blow but returned home with defeat made Ma Guilian reborn, playing 63 rounds in the Tour Championship and winning an unprecedented 40 rounds of the old horse, as if returning to the peak moment before and after the "turn of the millennium". For the Chinese Eight-Ball Masters World Finals during the World Open, it should be Ma Wei, who has been planning for a long time, missed Yushan for personal reasons, but flew directly to Qinhuangdao.
Mark Williams' road to Tour Championship victory:
12 into 8 rounds in the first round of the game: Mark Williams narrowly defeated Tom Forde 10-9, looking back at Tom Cat became the toughest man under the Ma Wei pole, and the record beat the top three in the world;
8 into 4 rounds of the tournament: Mark Williams threw three rounds of three whips in a row, 10-4 to beat world No. 2 Judd Trump;
Semi-finals: Mark Williams opened with a blood-soaked nine-game whip, if it weren't for a little kindness in the future, how could there be a 10-5 score, world No. 3 Mark Allen thank God;
Final: Mark Williams fell and fell, and in the second half, he cruelly sacrificed seven consecutive whips to whip the old fire, 5-3 to 5-10, if this plot is not the plot of the "spinach ghost game" in the comment area, how can Ronnie O'Sullivan, the big GOAT and the world's No. 1 person, be embarrassed?
