There are a few hundred years in life, thinking of the beautiful scenery of the good day, and resting and letting go. The poor pass is determined, why use hard work. Friends invite guests to play, drink and sing to the bottle. and drunk, let him have two rounds of the sun and the moon, back and forth.
The World Championship is the highest level of snooker competition, with a prize of 20,000 pounds for entering the top 32, 30,000 pounds for the top 16, 50,000 pounds for the top 8, 100,000 pounds for the top 4, 200,000 pounds for the runner-up, and 500,000 pounds for the champion. In addition, a perfect score of 147 points was awarded to £40,000.
At present, the competition for the top 16 has all ended, and the competition for the quarterfinals is underway. After fierce competition, O'Sullivan, Trump, Mark Allen, Murphy, Higgins, Tom Ford, Kyren Wilson, Milkins and other 8 seeded players successfully advanced, and Si Jiahui, Ryan Day, Gilbert, Lisowski, Bingham, Maguire, O'Connor, Jack Jones and other 8 qualifying players successfully advanced to the round of 16.
The most exciting match was between John Higgins and Jamie Jones.
Higgins is ranked 13th in the world and has won 31 ranking tournaments in his career, including four World Championships and three British Championships, the highest ranking in history. At the World Championships, Higgins won four titles and four runners-up, including a runner-up finish for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019. Higgins' form has slipped this season, and although he has reached the semi-finals of six consecutive games, he has failed to make any further progress. This tournament is crucial for Higgins' rankings, and after deducting the points from the semi-finals of the 2022 World Championships, if this tournament stops in the first two rounds, the world ranking is likely to fall out of the top 16.
Born in 1988, Jamie Jones is ranked 41st and has not had a particularly impressive career and has never reached the final in a ranking tournament. This season, he only reached the second round of the main draw at the Wuhan Open and the British Championships. However, he defeated Neil "Australian Artillery" Robertson 10-9 in the previous World Championship qualifying match.
The two have met four times before, with both sides winning two games each. The two games Jones won were both short games of 7 games and 4 wins, and the 2 games won by Higgins were long games of 9 games and 5 games or more, and the most recent meeting was at the 2022 Snooker Scottish Open, which Jamie Jones won.
At the beginning of the first game, Jamie Jones scored 118 points in a single stroke and successfully won the first game; in the second game, Higgins played many times and pulled back a game with 70-14; in the third game, the two alternately rose to score, and Jamie Jones narrowly won 66-55; in the fourth game, Higgins scored 68 points in a single stroke, but made a mistake at the critical moment, and Jamie Jones achieved a single game reversal with 78-72; in the fifth game, Higgins won the game 75-23; then, Higgins scored 62 and 66 points in two consecutive strokes, won two games in a row, and took the lead with a big score of 4-3; in the eighth game, Higgins played piecemeal and won 56-11In the ninth game, Jamie Jones scored 82 points in a single stroke and pulled one back 95-38.
The second stage of the competition. In the 10th game, Higgins scored 80 points and won the game 80-20, leading 6-4; in the 11th game, Higgins made many starts and won 59-12; in the 12th game, Jones won 67-39; in the 13th game, Higgins scored 59 points in a single stroke, and won another game 71-0, leading 8-5. In the 14th game, Higgins scored a red ball and scored 64 points in a single stroke, winning the game 76-0 and leading 9-5 to take the lead to get the match point.
Jones won the game 63-38 in the 15th game, and Higgins won the game 81-41 in the 16th game, beating Jones 10-6 to advance to the round of 16.
So far, the 1/8 finals have been released, in the 1/4 district Gilbert vs. Milkins, Murphy vs. Maguire, 2/4 Kyren Wilson vs. O'Connor, Higgins vs. Mark Allen, 3/4 Trump vs. Tom Ford, Si Jiahui vs. Jack Jones, 4/4 Bingham vs. Lisowski, Ryan Day vs. O'Sullivan.
It is worth mentioning that China's 22-year-old rising star Si Jiahui, after breaking into the semifinals of the World Championships last year, this World Championships has become everyone's hope. In the next quarterfinals, Si Jiahui faces Jack Jones, ranked 44th in the world, and is very likely to win. If Si Jiahui advances to the top 8, the next quarterfinals will challenge Trump.
The monks live in victory, the laity is sparse, and the mountains are all around. The fragrant tree gives birth to the golden land, the green lotus comes out of the treasure pool, the bay leaves are stained with silver mud, and the bright moon is cold and the double apes make water.
