At five o'clock this afternoon, the first two quarter-finals will be played
April 30 at 17:00
Maguire vs Gilbert
Trump vs Jack Jones
Jack Jones has reached the quarterfinals of the World Championships for two consecutive years and has played very well, but there is still a big gap compared with Trump.
With a winning rate of 82% this season, 214 strokes of 50+, and 78 strokes of 100, Trump is the most powerful contender for the title of this World Championship.
Although Jack Jones eliminated three Chinese players in a row to advance to the quarterfinals, it was not how well he played, but that the mentality of these three Chinese players was too poor and their performance was too poor, and it was difficult to meet Trump.
April 30 at 21:30
Higgins vs Kyren Wilson
O'Sullivan vs Bingham
Rocket O'Sullivan is also a strong contender for the championship, and Trump is in the second half of the same region, and only one of the two can advance to the finals, which is a pity, and it is most likely that the two will meet in the semifinals. In the 1/4 finals, the Rockets played against Bingham, and the Rockets had no problem in advancing normally.
Here's a look back at the progress of the players at this World Championship:
