On April 28, Beijing time, the second round of the 2024 World Snooker Championship continued.
With Si Jiahui out of the tournament 9-13, all Chinese snooker players have ended the 2023/2024 season, and on the whole it is unsatisfactory! Compared with the previous season, because of Zhang Anda's violent outburst, the championship drought in the ranking tournament has been broken! Another championship in the invitational tournament is hard to find, and it has not been satisfactory! Especially the results of the World Championships have declined, and only Si Jiahui has advanced to the top 16 and stopped in the top 16. In the final analysis, there is still too little high-end combat power, Si Jiahui still needs to experience, his competitive state is much worse than last year's World Championships, and the chain is dropped at the critical moment or the ball is in a position that leads to a high probability of falling the chain at the critical moment, and the future world champion still needs to be tempered!
At present, 10 of the 16 seeded players have been eliminated, including Ding Junhui, Zhang Anda, Uncle Ma, Luka, Carter, Gary, Hawkins, and Selby in the first round. World No. 16 Milkins suffered a 4-13 defeat and David Gilbert reached the quarterfinals for the first time since reaching the semifinals at the 2019 World Championships. No. 3 seed Trump eliminated No. 14 seed Tom Ford 13-7 to advance to the quarterfinals against Jack Jones, who eliminated Si Jiahui. Trump scored 90+ single-strokes in the whole game, including three single-stroke 100 points, and he scored 107 points in the 18th round, raising his career 100 to 979 strokes, continuing to rank third in the all-time single-stroke 100 list, 21 strokes away from breaking 1000 strokes, and his season breaking 100 also reached 78 strokes.
