The World Snooker Championship has come to an end one day, and on April 25, 2024, the fifth match day of the main competition is dizzying. The round of 16 has been released, and most of the seeded players have fallen, including the unexpected early retirement of Chinese star Ding Junhui, who has been in the round for four consecutive years, which has made fans sigh. And the evergreen of snooker, Ronnie O'Sullivan, took an 8-1 lead in a crazy game, showing his terrifying competitive state.
Ding Junhui's exit is undoubtedly a big upset in this World Championships. He lost 9-10 against Lisowski and once again looked powerless on the field. This once genius boy now seems to be difficult to regain his former glory. The continuous script of a round of tours makes Ding Junhui's future full of uncertainty.
In other games, Kyren Wilson's 10-1 win over Dominic Dyer and Mark Allen's 10-6 win over Robbie Williams showed the difference in quality between the masters. And Ryan Day's 10-8 victory against Hawkins perfectly illustrates the unpredictability and drama of snooker.
The rest of the race is even more exciting. At 8 p.m. Beijing time on the 25th, O'Sullivan will continue his first round of the second phase of the game, currently leading Jackson Page 8-1, and his performance has almost announced the fate of promotion. At the same time, David Gilbert will also face Robert Milkins in the first stage of the second round for a place in the round of 16.
At 2 a.m. on the 26th, the other two games are also worth watching. Higgins would continue against Jamie Jones in an attempt to extend the lead with a narrow 5-4 lead. And Trump's match against Tom Forde will also be a double contest of skill and psychology.
Such a layout not only tests the players' technical and psychological endurance, but also challenges their strategy and adaptability. And for fans, every game is full of variables and suspense, making it unpredictable.
Let's discuss in the comment area, what new upsets do you think will be in the next games, what will be Ding Junhui's state, and can O'Sullivan continue his dominant performance?
Overall, this World Championships is not only a contest of skills, but also a war of psychology and intelligence. Every player is writing their own story with their clubs, and we are witnesses to that story. I hope that all players can show their best in the next games and bring more excitement and surprises to snooker lovers all over the world!
