In the early morning of April 27, Beijing time, in the 1/8 finals of the 2024 Snooker World Championship, Si Jiahui Vs Jack Jones played the first two stages of the game, and finally, in the case of falling behind 2-6 in the first stage, the second stage recovered two games with 5-3, and the total score was still two games behind. The third stage of the competition will continue at 17:00 today.
In the first stage, the first four games of both sides won two games each, tied 2-2, after a short break, Si Jiahui suddenly made frequent mistakes, Jones repeatedly laughed and accepted the gift, played a wave of "four consecutive whips", and took a 6-2 lead. At this stage, Si Jiahui hit 5 strokes of 50+, while Jack Jones only shot 2 strokes of 50+, but Si Jiahui hit the ball at a fast pace, and repeatedly made mistakes on the long platform and left hand, digging a big hole for himself.
In the second stage, the first four games were won by both sides, the score was 4-8, Si Jiahui was still behind four games, returned from a short break, Si Jiahui slowed down the pace appropriately, and the offensive and defensive choices were more reasonable, chasing two more games, still 6-8 behind, and the next two games, both sides played more entangled, and in the end, they each won a game through piecemeal, and the score was 7-9, Si Jiahui was still two games behind.
Looking at the first two stages of the game, Si Jiahui's true character of the little prince of the long platform has been lost, and the defense that has made great progress recently has also frequently shown timidity, but fortunately, the opponent's state is not the best, and the same mistakes continued, Si Jiahui recovered two games. The second period ended with only two games down 7-9. This score is not without chasing, I hope that Si Jiahui in the third stage can find his feel, turn the tables against the wind, fight back, win the opponent, and advance to the quarterfinals!
