On April 25, Beijing time, it was reported that the 2024 World Snooker Championship continued. In a key match in the first round, 7-time world champion world No. 1 "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan showed an invincible state in the first stage, and he directly defeated "Little Pig" Jackson Page with a score of 6-0, 8-1.
After a season of competition, the 2023-24 Snooker Tour has entered the final stage, and the Snooker World Championship Qualifying Tournament is hotly staged. The world's No. 1 "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the championship.
This season, O'Sullivan has won 5 championship titles, showing a very good competitive form. Among the 5 championships, they include the British Championship and the Masters championship of the three major snooker events.
Therefore, if he can win the World Championships, O'Sullivan will be able to create a miracle of winning the three major events. And his journey to win the three major championships began with the first round of the World Championships against "Little Pig" Jackson Page.
O'Sullivan's opponent in the first round of the World Championships, Page, who is currently ranked 43rd in the world, advanced to the main event of the World Championships through two rounds of qualifying victories. In the promotion round, he defeated Thailand's Noppong Sankham 10-9.
In this battle, O'Sullivan came up and blasted out 6 consecutive whips, and achieved a huge advantage of 8-1 in the first stage. Regarding O'Sullivan's invincible performance in the first stage, the official Weibo of the World Snooker Tour wrote: "In the 2024 World Snooker Championship 32 into 16 rounds, Ronnie O'Sullivan hit one shot to break 100 (122) and five shots 50+ (54, 56, 81, 66, 53)".
The official Weibo of the World Snooker Tour continued: "Jackson Page scored 142 points in a single stroke in the seventh game, and at the end of the first stage, O'Sullivan led Page with a score of 8-1, and the second phase of the game between the two sides will start at 20 o'clock Beijing time on the 25th. "In the second stage, O'Sullivan only needs to win two more games to advance to the round of 16, and if Page wants to reverse, he must play a score of 9-1 or 10-0, will he?
