On April 28, Beijing time, Si Jiahui, the lone seedling of the Chinese Army in the Snooker World Championships, was also eliminated. In the game with Jack Jones, Si Jiahui lost 3 games in a row and finally lost 9-13 when he once chased 9-10. In addition, another world champion, Murphy, was temporarily 6-10 down against Maguire and was in a very difficult situation. Higgins and Allen have a strong conversation, and the two sides are currently tied 4-4.
Si Jiahui fell behind 2-6 in the first stage, and his form picked up in the second stage, chasing the score to 7-9. As soon as the third stage came up, Si Jiahui and Jack Jones started a fierce defensive battle, and after a one-hour duel, Si Jiahui completed the clearance and narrowly won 53-52, chasing 8-9. But in the next few games, Si Jiahui and his opponent made crazy mistakes, and both sides won 2 games each, and Si Jiahui fell behind 9-11 after 20 rounds. After returning to the court, Si Jiahui's form was greatly reduced, and there were major mistakes in defense, and finally lost 2 more games, losing 9-13.
As a result, the five players of the Chinese Army in the main match of this World Championships were all declared out. Si Jiahui, as the top 4 players in the World Championships last season, was unfortunately out of the tournament because of his youth and instability. After the game, Si Jiahui updated social media, saying that he played too poorly and put a lot of pressure on himself. After Si Jiahui is out, the biggest suspense in this World Championships is who will be the final champion and whether there will be more upsets.
Murphy's match against Maguire was an upset. World No. 8 Murphy takes on No. 28 Maguire, a former 2005 world champion who is perennially ranked in the top 16. Maguire, on the other hand, has also reached the final of the World Championships before, and his strength should not be underestimated. In this game, the first 6 games between the two sides were tied 3-3, but then Maguire won 2 games in a row to open up. In the second stage, Murphy was still not in shape, and Maguire shot 2 shots of 60+, and Maguire is currently leading 10-6, only 3 games away from the upset.
