On April 25, 2024, the World Snooker Championship continued, the world's No. 1 won six games in a row, and a strong promotion was in sight, O'Sullivan led Jackson Page 8-1, although the opponent scored 142 points in a single stroke in the seventh game, but it failed to bring any impact to O'Sullivan.
O'Sullivan is the number one favorite to win the World Championships this year, ranked No. 1 in the world, with absolute strength, this season has won the British Championships, the Masters Championships, and then the World Championships are eight sets of Grand Slams, but the long game system is a bit difficult for veterans, I am afraid that it is difficult for energy to keep up with the rhythm, O'Sullivan as long as the state is online, it is very difficult for other players to win him, there is no doubt about this.
Qualifier Jackson Page has good strength, entered Crucible for two consecutive years, although the world ranking is only 43rd, but as a disciple of Mark Williams, Jackson Page is the leader of the young generation after 00, some time ago for the first time to advance to the top four of the ranking round, and then lost to Trump, now it is really bad luck, and he met O'Sullivan when he came up, and he can only end there.
The game uses a 19-game 10-win system, and now only plays nine rounds in the first half, Jackson Page is not O'Sullivan's opponent, after all, the strength gap is there, the first game O'Sullivan scored 54 points with a single stroke, and took the lead with 105-24, in the second game O'Sullivan got started many times and completed the super score with 71-10, and in the third game O'Sullivan seized the opportunity to score 56 points with a single stroke and won another game with 120-27.
In the fourth game, both sides made mistakes, O'Sullivan scored 81 points in a single stroke, in fact, in this four games, Jackson Page was not without a chance, but the on-the-spot performance was indeed too poor, obviously affected by the mentality, and the hand was tight and could not withstand the pressure, although the master Mark Williams had won the championship with O'Sullivan before, but the apprentice Jackson Page was still too bad, and Mark Williams had lost to Si Jiahui.
After halftime, Jackson Page did not improve, there was a problem again in the fifth game, he finally scored a red ball, and accidentally dropped the bag, O'Sullivan directly blasted out a single stroke of 122 points, and in the sixth game, both sides made simple mistakes, O'Sullivan won the fight 89-27, and in the seventh game, Jackson Page was not to be outdone, and shot out a single stroke of 142 points and also colored, and the quality of the clearance was very high and worthy of praise.
In the eighth game, O'Sullivan scored 66 points with a single stroke and pulled back a game with 97-43, and in the ninth game, O'Sullivan scored 53 points with a single stroke and completed the super score with 98-4, O'Sullivan led Jackson Page 8-1, and there is no problem in continuing to move forward, following Kyren Wilson 10-1 swept Dominic Dyer, O'Sullivan is expected to win easily with the same score, and the second half will be held at 20 o'clock on April 25, so stay tuned.
