On April 23, 2024, Beijing time, in the first stage of the first round of the just-concluded Snooker World Championships, Chinese teenager Si Jiahui fell behind 0-2 and temporarily fell behind Mark William 4-5 with 52 points in a single stroke and excellent ability to seize opportunities, playing the suspense of the round of 16.

Looking at the competitive form of both games, Williams and Bingham are both the in-form side. The difference is that Bingham has a better chance of winning. And there is a lot of suspense in the match between Si Jiahui and Williams.

Williams and Wilson are at risk of being out
Judging from the combined performances of the two games, Mark Williams and Bingham are clearly in better form. But the difference is that the match between Mark Williams and Si Jiahui will obviously be more suspenseful, while the match between Bingham and Gary Wilson may be less suspenseful.
In the match between Mark Williams and Si Jiahui, Si Jiahui's condition was not very ideal, and he even made a lot of simple mistakes. However, Mark Williams did not widen the gap between the two sides, and if Si Jiahui plays well in the second stage of the two sides, then Si Jiahui will have every chance to change the course of this game.
In the match between Gary Wilson and Bingham, Bingham won four games in a row, although Wilson then narrowed the gap to three. But that still can't hide the fact that Wilson is out of form, and if he continues to be in that form in the second half of the game, then he will likely be out.
