With a strong start, O'Sullivan led 4-0
O'Sullivan once again proved his extraordinary strength. Facing the rising star Page, O'Sullivan quickly entered the state in the first four games, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, with a sharp edge. He hit three consecutive 50+ high scores, completely suppressed his opponent, and easily achieved a dream start of 4-0.
Such a start not only highlights O'Sullivan's extraordinary skills as a snooker legend, but also a stress test for the young player Page. In the world of snooker, the importance of the start is self-evident, and a good start can often set the tone for the whole game. And O'Sullivan relied on his unparalleled skills and rich game experience to firmly grasp the initiative in the early stage of the game.
After a short break, O'Sullivan, who returned to the arena, did not relax his vigilance, but showed a more ferocious offensive. He scored a high score of 122 points in a single stroke in the fifth game, showing the audience his hot hand. In the sixth game, he continued to maintain his excellent form, making several attempts and successfully winning to extend the score to 6-0.
At this time, O'Sullivan was like a general on the battlefield, commanding firmly, and every step was precise and powerful. Every time he hits the ball, he looks so calm and confident, as if telling his opponent and the audience: This is my battlefield.
Page counterattacked, and O'Sullivan played steadily
However, the game is always full of uncertainties. In the seventh game, Page finally found his rhythm, and he blasted a high score of 142 points in a single stroke to successfully pull back a game. This game undoubtedly brought great confidence to Page and also allowed the audience to see more possibilities in the game. But in the eighth game, O'Sullivan did not mess up because of Page's counterattack. He kept his rhythm and controlled the direction of the match. In the end, he won with a score of 70-43 and extended the big score to 7-1. O'Sullivan's stability and calmness once again proved his strength and psychological quality as a snooker superstar.
At the end of the first period, O'Sullivan was 8-1 ahead, and as the game deepened, O'Sullivan continued to expand his results. In the ninth game, he didn't give Page any chance, and easily won this game, ending the first stage of the game with a big score of 8-1. Such a score is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Page, and it is also a full affirmation of O'Sullivan's skills and tactics. At this stage of the competition, O'Sullivan showed his unparalleled skills and rich experience. His every shot was precise and powerful, and every tactical choice was just right. He is like a master in control, and he is at ease in the game.
Allen made the cut steadily, demonstrating his ability to control the game
Another match that gets a lot of attention is Mark Allen vs. Robbie Williams. Although Allen didn't have much of a brilliant single-shot performance in the game, his ability to control the game was impressive. Allen remained calm and patient in the face of Robbie Williams' stubborn resistance, and in the end he defeated his opponent with a score of 10-6 to successfully advance to the round of 16.
Ding Junhui regretted being out, and Lisowski successfully counterattacked
In this year's World Championships, the performance of Chinese player Ding Junhui has also attracted much attention. However, in the match with Jack Lisowski, Ding Junhui unfortunately went out. The two sides battled fiercely in the game until the tiebreaker. In the end, Lisowski defeated Ding Junhui with a score of 10-9 and successfully advanced to the round of 16. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for Chinese snooker fans. But at the same time, we also saw Lisowski's outstanding performance and the fighting spirit he showed.
