In the first half of the region, due to the exit of Lu Haotian and Pang Junxu, so that Chinese snooker wants to have players in the finals of this World Championships has come to naught, it is still a pity, before in the Masters, Chinese players have had a final derby, which is also the only Chinese final derby in the three major competitions so far! In addition, Ryan Day, as an unseeded player, played very tenaciously in the first round, seeing that there are already 6 top 16 players in the world who have been out one after another, Ryan Day is also looking forward to winning Hawkins, Ryan Day is also a snooker celebrity, and has won the ranking tournament championship many times before, Ryan Day and Hawkins have the same number of ranking tournament championships, the experience of the two people is very similar, they have reached the ranking finals many times, and they are also experienced, in addition, the two people are of similar age, more than the upper than the bottom, both of them are already over 40 years old, and O'Sullivan, Selby is far from a famous player, but they still have a certain competitivenessRyan Day and Barry Hawkins are no strangers to each other, and they have won and lost each other, and they are evenly divided!
As a result, in the first half of the game, the two played inseparably again, Ryan Day quickly took the lead, and Barry Hawkins stubbornly resisted, 4-5 into the second half, and Barry Hawkins if out. It is also understandable, after all, the world rankings of the two people are also quite close, and it is normal for two players with similar strength to lose together, and Ryan Day expects Barry Hawkins to become the seventh seeded player to go out of the World Championships, so that the seeded player who went out in the first round will make a great contribution to breaking the record! In the other focus battle, Mark Allen played quite easily, and the first half was full of firepower, 7-2, and Robbie Williams was almost unmotivated, and the situation in the first half was clearer, and Brecel and Selby were out of the first round. Mark Allen becomes the most competitive player in the top half!
The more relaxed Mark Allen is also unreserved, playing very focused, for the first championship of the World Championships is very important, the next second half, Mark Allen as long as he wins three games to advance to the round of 16, Mark Allen has never been to the World Championships finals before, the best results in the World Championships are only in the semi-finals, and now set off again, the unstoppable Mark Allen is looking forward to creating history, and the impact of the three major Grand Slams is bound to win!
