On April 26, Beijing time, the Snooker World Championship decided all the players in the top 16. After 00, Si Jiahui became the only Chinese player in the top 16 and will carry the glory of the Chinese army. And in the 1/8 finals, Si Jiahui also ushered in a godsend, he will face Jack Jones, who is also a qualifier. For Si Jiahui, this is a good opportunity for him to advance to the top 8 again. In addition, the biggest attraction in the second round is the dialogue between Higgins and Allen, and O'Sullivan and Trump have little problem in promoting.
In the first round of this World Championships, there were many big upsets. The four-time champion Selby was announced, and China's first brother Ding Junhui was also killed by Lisowski, and a total of 8 people in the top 16 were eliminated. However, O'Sullivan, Trump, Higgins and other famous players have all advanced, especially O'Sullivan scored 10-1. In addition to Ding Junhui's exit, Lu Haotian, Pang Junxu and Zhang Anda were also eliminated, leaving only Si Jiahui as a lone seedling, who defeated Jin's left-handed Mark Williams to advance.
came to the second round, Si Jiahui played against Jack Jones. Jones defeated China's Zhang Anda 10-4 in the first round. Jack Jones was able to win, not because of how good his form was, he only shot 4 shots of 50+ in the whole game, and did not break 100. It's because Zhang Anda played too poorly, he only had 1 shot of 50+ in the whole game, and he chose to give up in the face of free kicks. In terms of rankings, Si Jiahui is ranked 23rd, and Jones is only 44th. Therefore, Si Jiahui is not afraid of such an opponent.
In their previous head-to-head meetings, the two men have each won once, but the two have never faced each other in a long-inning format. The second round of the World Championships will adopt a best-of-25 format, which is equivalent to two regular ranking matches. Last season, Si Jiahui broke into the top 4 of the World Championships, and he will not be unfamiliar with such a scene, and I hope Si Jiahui can seize the opportunity. In addition, the complete matchups in the 1/8 finals are Si Jiahui vs Jack Jones, Milkins vs Gilbert, Trump vs Ford, Murphy vs Maguire, O'Sullivan vs Ryan Day, Bingham vs Lisowski, Higgins vs Allen, and O'Connor vs Wilson.
