On April 26, Beijing time, the second round of the 2024 World Snooker Championship continued.
Jack Jones vs Si Jiahui
In this World Championships, five Chinese players have entered the Crucible, and Pang Junxu has not won his first victory in the main round of the World Championships for two consecutive years! Lu Haotian has been in the first round of the three Crucible tours, and only the "newcomer" has reached the round of 16 in the first round; Zhang Anda is in the first round of the four Crucible Championships, and he also missed the first victory; Ding Junhui is the first round of the Crucible for four consecutive years, and his best result is the runner-up in the 2016 World Championships, and since then, the situation has been getting worse! In the end, only Si Jiahui advanced to the round of 16 and advanced to the second round of the main draw of the World Championships for the second time in a row, beating Murphy last year, who said he would be the fastest Chinese player to win the World Championships. This year's 10-9 defeat of the new tour champion Mark Williams, who is in the limelight, is the only player to defeat O'Sullivan in the final this season, and the road to the championship defeated the world's top three, full of gold! It is also said that Si Jiahui is a future world champion.
Perhaps, Si Jiahui really has the quality of competing for the highest honor! Last year, the World Championships ushered in the first post-90s champion in history, and perhaps we can also look forward to the first post-00s champion! However, O'Sullivan has already said, "I may be the only player who can still win the World Championship at the age of 50, and my career is the most brilliant of all snooker players." I've achieved more at the table than anyone else. If I had been determined in the past 30 years, I might have won 10 or even 12 world championships!" Trump also said that he would compete with O'Sullivan in the semifinals, and they were in the lower half of the same zone with Si Jiahui, which was obviously a difficult journey to pursue their dreams! It is not an exaggeration to think about it, what is the difference between not having a dream and salted fish? Last year, no one thought that he would advance to the semifinals, and at one point he led the champion Luca 14-5 in the semifinals! It is worth mentioning that Si Jiahui is the only non-British player in the round of 16, and he is also the only post-00 player and the youngest one. There are 10 players from England, two from Scotland, two from Wales and one player from Northern Ireland.
