As the smoke of the World Snooker Championship on April 30, 2024 clears, the quarterfinals have finally surfaced. In this battle of masters, every shot can be the difference between victory and defeat, and every victory is like taking a life from the hands of the opponent. No, the matchup between Higgins and Allen was a typical psychological and technical battle, and in the end, Higgins won 13-12 and seized the precious opportunity to advance.
Allen, the world's No. 3 player, came here with the aura of 11 ranking tournament titles, and his form has been consistent. At the beginning of the game, he scored 119 points in a single stroke, showing his menacing determination. However, Higgins, a 13th-ranked veteran with 31 career ranking titles and nine of the three major titles, is not intimidated by Allen's early form.
In the next game, the two went back and forth, and wonderful duels emerged one after another. From Higgins's single-stroke 73 points to Allen's continuous overscores, and then Higgins's continuous reversal of the situation, this game has almost become a teaching display of snooker. Especially in the tiebreaker, Allen hit a single stroke of 62 points and then stopped the attack, and Higgins completed the reversal with a single stroke of 71 points, showing his unparalleled ability to resist pressure.
And in another crucial game, Bingham was also full of drama against Lisowski. Although Bingham did not score more than 100 points in a single stroke, his performances of 90, 89 and 68 points were enough to show his ability to score points at critical moments. Although Lisowski hit 11 consecutive 50+ strokes, technically it was not a problem at all, but it may have been a little inexperienced, and his on-the-spot performance fluctuated slightly, and finally lost 13-11 to the more stable Bingham.
Now that the quarter-finals have been made, with a split split between seeded players and qualifiers, this makes the upcoming matches even more unpredictable. Maguire vs. Gilbert and Higgins vs. Kyren Wilson in the top half, while Trump vs. Jack Jones and O'Sullivan vs. Bingham in the bottom half. Fans have already started to buzz on social media, with everyone having their own supporters and some starting to analyze and predict future matches.
Undoubtedly, with such a lineup configuration, every game has the potential to become a classic. Especially the existence of O'Sullivan and Trump, the two masters, people can't help but expect them to compete in the final. And Higgins' reversal this time also let us see the tenacity and fighting spirit of the veteran again.
In short, every shot and every point of this World Championship is full of unpredictable variables. We look forward to seeing more exciting moments from these top players in the upcoming tournaments." Let's stay tuned to see who can win the final glory in this battleground full of masters.
