Beijing time on April 29, the 2024 Snooker World Championship is about to usher in the tenth day of competition, for the current stage of the 1/8 finals, it will be a promotion day, the remaining 4 top 8 seats will be decided on the same day, plus the 4 top 8 players who have been decided before, the complete list of the top 8 in this Snooker World Championship will be released.
Seeded Judd Trump and three qualifiers Jack Jones, Gilbert, and Maguire took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals, and the remaining four 1/8 finals have completed the first two stages of the competition: O'Sullivan 10-6 Ryan Day, Kyren Wilson 10-6 O'Connor, Mark Allen 9-7 Higgins, Bingham 9-7 Lisowski.
The 1/8 finals take 25 rounds and 13 wins, the final battle of the third stage, O'Sullivan and Kyren Wilson only need to win 3 more rounds to advance to the quarterfinals, Ryan Day and O'Connor's reversal is very difficult, in the case of strength and state are at a disadvantage, at least 7-2 need to be counterattacked, which is basically unlikely, especially Ryan Day, he is facing the world's No. 1 O'Sullivan, the 7th World Championship champion with extremely rich experience in the competition!
In the other two games, the world champion Higgins faced out, in the last four games of the second stage, Higgins lost four games in a row and was whipped four times in a row, from a 7-5 lead in the total game to a 7-9 behind, the world's No. 3 Mark Allen began to exert his strength, 71 points, 94 points, 80 points, 74 points in a single stroke, there was a wave of momentum to harvest the game! The beginning of the third stage is very important, if Higgins cannot stop the decline, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of the game.
In the first two stages, Bingham showed the background of the world champion, withstood Lisowski's opening three-board axe attack of 82 points and 88 points in a single stroke, and then scored 90 points in a single stroke. 89 points and five games in a row 5-2 strong overtake, Lisowski chased back a game, the second stage of the competition, Bingham won a game, Lisowski chased three games in a row to chase the total score to a 6-6 draw, Bingham withstood the pressure to take the lead again, with a 9-7 advantage will enter the final stage of the decisive battle.
